Chapter 1108: Emperor Xia’s Showdown
Zhang Ronghua opened his eyes, and all kinds of strange phenomena swirled and entered his body again. His temperament changed, and he was ethereal, like a master who had transcended the world.
His brows were tightly knitted together, and his face was filled with confusion.
“Seven realms of Great Dao Origins? Wasn’t the realm of martial techniques only at the sixth realm? The highest level of cultivation was the Near-Dao Technique, but it could not be improved? Why are there still seven states?”
He had read so many books and rare books, but there were no records of this.
Zhang Ronghua had a vague feeling that he had already reached the peak of the seventh level of medical skills and could not improve any further.
“With my current medical skills, can I solve His Majesty’s problem?”
He shook his head.
Emperor Xia had the Supreme Nirvana Life-Giving Technique and the simplified version of the Celestial Emperor’s God-Sealing Technique, which increased his lifespan by twelve years. It was enough to deal with his hidden enemies and wait for the opportunity to heal him.
The seventh level of medical skills was too heaven-defying. If word got out, even the Xia Emperor would dare to harm him with his immense power in the dark. With his current cultivation base, he wouldn’t be able to withstand it. Unless he took another step forward and broke through to the Godly State as a soul master, his martial arts and physical body would reach the Divine Heaven State.
(Immortal State = Divine Heaven State)
He looked at the sky outside. It was already dark.
“Get someone to make some food and send it over,” Zhang Ronghua ordered.
He studied the Great Five Elements Freedom Incarnation Divine Power with the Five Elements Illusionary Spirit Technique as the foundation. The higher the realm of the latter, the more effective it was to cultivate. It was already a sixth realm technique that was close to the Dao, so it was not difficult to figure it out.
When the food was delivered, he ate it hastily before getting someone to take it down.
With a wave of his right hand, a stream of soul power shot down to set up a barrier that enveloped the room. Then, he used his senses to cover the backyard. If anyone came, he would be able to discover them immediately.
According to its introduction, the five spirits condensed into clones, and the hands twisted and changed their seals. Five spiritual lights rushed out of the body, and golden light flashed, transforming into five clones. They were identical, and it was considered the beginning.
If the old man knew that Zhang Ronghua had succeeded in one try without making any progress, he would say,” F * ck!” no matter how good his temperament was.
Including his true body, six figures flashed across the sky, attacking and defending…
At dawn.
Zhang Ronghua stopped and waved his sleeves. The five incarnations turned into spiritual light again and entered his body. He smiled.” Other than being unable to leave, I can use all my divine powers and secret techniques. Once I cultivate to the sixth realm, I will be able to reach a certain level of strength.”
His face was filled with anticipation. This day was not far away.
He put away the barrier.
Ding Yi and the others had not come over yet. They sat on the chairs and with a thought, the scripture chamber carved with soul power appeared. They started from the first level and looked at it seriously…
Time passed. It was less than an hour before the morning court session. Hurried footsteps could be heard from outside.
” You’re finally here.” Zhang Ronghua, who was reading the book in his mind, stopped and smiled.
He got up from his chair and stopped outside.
Ding Yi was about to knock on the door when Zhang Ronghua’s voice came from inside.
He pushed open the door.
The two of them entered and closed the door. Although they were tired, they were very excited. Their inner thoughts were expressed on their faces.
” Brother,” said Ding Yi impatiently,” guess how much the three academies have in total, including the silver.”
“10,000 stalks of 1,000-year-old spiritual herbs,” Zhang Ronghua said with a smile.
“Can’t you have a little more structure? Make a big guess.”
“15,000!”
” No!” Ding Yi shook his head and sighed.” Brother, this isn’t like you!”
Zhang Ronghua was shocked. 15,000 stalks of 1,000-year-old spiritual herbs? Each stalk of thousand-year-old spiritual medicine was priced at around 170,000 taels of silver. He was in disbelief. He still opened his mouth.” 20,000 stalks!”
“21,358 stalks!”
The room was so quiet that one could even hear the sound of a heartbeat. It was nearly four billion silver taels. Even if the three academies had inherited it for many years, where did they get so much silver?
Ding Yi seemed to know that Zhang Ronghua was confused. He continued,” I wouldn’t have known if I hadn’t checked. But I was shocked when I checked. Zhenglin Academy and Taiyi Academy are still okay. Although they are unscrupulous, they are not as ruthless as Changtian Academy.”
He took out a document and handed it over.
He took it.
Zhang Ronghua looked at it seriously. The Changtian Academy took up half of the land, with the Chang and Gao families as the leaders and the other three as the deputy. They had a lot of industries. Many of the disciples they had nurtured over the years were officials and settled down in various parts of Great Xia. With this relationship, they could reach an agreement of interests and run various industries. They would do whatever industry made money. Coupled with floods and natural disasters, once the people had no harvest, they would transport grain from other places at a low price and sell it at a high price. Over the years, they had accumulated a huge amount of wealth. There were many officials involved. Even if there was a relationship between the teachers and students, it was not something that Jin Zhijian could play with. There must be a big shot standing behind them to get through all the connections.
“What do you think?” he asked, putting down the document with a serious expression.
“The waters are very deep! If it were anyone else, they would have been transferred away or secretly killed the moment they made their move! It was only because of you, the Marquis of Nancheng, the prefect, the General of the Flying Cavalry, the forces you cultivated, Uncle Pei’s faction, the support of the Crown Prince, the Emperor’s watch, and the Old Master behind you that the people in the dark did not dare to act rashly. That’s why you let Jin Zhijian and the Changtian Academy test the waters. Otherwise, this confrontation would have been unprecedentedly intense.”
He took a sip of tea to calm himself down.
“If we continue to investigate, with these clues, the person behind the scenes will not be able to escape no matter how well he hides. However, if that happens, the storm that will be triggered will probably involve everyone in the court. No one will be able to stay out of it. In the end, it will even lead to a riot.”
