Chapter 1322 - 30: So You Still Remember You’re the Great Emperor

After writing the letter, he stuffed the thick stack of letter paper into an envelope and handed it to the maid responsible for delivering the message. Only then did he carry the secret letter and head to the Lingyun Saint Hall.

A moment later.

Lingyun Saint Hall, rear side hall.

"Hello, hello? Can you hear me?"

A small sapling, slightly thicker than an arm, stood on the table with its hands on its waist, speaking seriously to the modified Celestial Secret Recording Disc wrapped in its roots.

This small sapling was, of course, Wang Lixian.

The bright light of the Spirit Lamp shone on her, making her already green leaves even more translucent, looking like a work of art, especially beautiful.

On the Celestial Secret Recording Disc in front of her, a beam of light shadow was projected, with the old yet vigorous face of Emperor Longchang inside.

"I can hear, I can hear." Emperor Longchang greeted Wang Lixian with a smile.

Wang Shouzhe was holding a cup of tea, sitting aside and sipping while deep in thought, letting the person and tree on the other side engage in casual chat.

This modified set of Celestial Secret Recording Discs was naturally the one used back when dealing with the Saint Gu Worm Race, with which they also live-broadcasted Prince Dexin’s face, directly cutting to the chase.

Over these decades, Wang Shouzhe had the high-quality talents from the Research Institute further refine this set of Celestial Secret Recording Discs. Now, aided by the connection between Wang Lixian’s body and her avatar, it can achieve remote real-time communication, and all in holographic form.

Unfortunately, the functionality of this set of Celestial Secret Recording Discs is overly reliant on Wang Lixian’s own abilities, and it’s destined not to be widely available in the short term. Otherwise, the Wang Family would have yet another industry capable of generating huge profits.

As for Emperor Longchang, he was, of course, called here for a meeting by Wang Shouzhe.

Speaking of which, this matter was quite a coincidence. Emperor Longchang had received an assignment to extract the Wood Spiritual Vein and had been preparing for a while, originally planning to leave soon.

However, at this crucial moment, he received a meeting notification from Wang Lixian’s main body.

If the message had come a day or two later, who knows if he would already have been on the way to extracting the Spirit Vein. By then, it would have been much harder to contact him.

"Shouzhe, young man."

After chatting with Wang Lixian for a while, Emperor Longchang finally could no longer restrain himself and looked over at Wang Shouzhe, who was sipping tea on the side: "You hurriedly called me over. What exactly is the matter? It can’t just be to watch you drink tea, right?"

Emperor Longchang always wore a displeased expression towards Wang Shouzhe.

"No rush, let’s wait a bit." Wang Shouzhe gestured for him to calm down.

Emperor Longchang was so angry that he flared his beard and widened his eyes: "What’s with your attitude? Even though I’m semi-retired, I’m still the Great Emperor of Daqian. Do you still regard me as the Great Emperor?"

"..."

Wang Shouzhe silently gazed at him.

Oh, so you still remember you’re the Great Emperor of Daqian?

Just then, the door of the back hall was suddenly opened from the outside, and a tall figure walked in.

Along with it came a loud voice: "Shouzhe, you hurriedly sent someone to call me over... huh? Longchang?"

The newcomer was, of course, Jiang Zhencang.

He looked at the light projection from the Celestial Secret Recording Disc in surprise, unable to help but wonder in his heart. Could it be that something finally happened to Longchang? Otherwise, why would Shouzhe make a recording of Longchang for him to see?

"Jiang Zhencang?" Emperor Longchang was equally astonished, couldn’t help but look at Wang Shouzhe, "Why did you call this old fellow too?"

"Hmm? Isn’t it a recording?" Jiang Zhencang was even more surprised, stunned for a moment before he reacted, "Is this the real-time communication recorded in the classics?"

As the Master of the Saint Land, he had seen many things, including various equipment excavated from the relics of the Divine Martial Dynasty.

However, after ten thousand years, many instruments were severely damaged and not usable. Ones like the Trial Hall that could be directly used were extremely rare.

As for this kind of real-time communication device, he had only read about it in the classics and had never actually seen it.

"Shouzhe, did you call me over just to see this?"

Jiang Zhencang curiously examined the modified Celestial Secret Recording Disc and exchanged a few words with the opposite Emperor Longchang, confirming that real-time communication was indeed possible, before excitedly looking at Wang Shouzhe: "This is something good, can it be mass-produced?"

Wang Shouzhe courteously greeted Jiang Zhencang, then sat back down, and solemnly said, "I beg your pardon, Saint Master, this thing cannot be mass-produced. The reason Shouzhe specially invited you two over is not primarily for this, but for another important matter."

Another important matter?

Jiang Zhencang glanced at Wang Shouzhe, then at Emperor Longchang on the other side of the Celestial Secret Recording Disc, immediately realizing something was off.

Just how big of an issue could it be that he needed to call both him and Longchang to discuss?

Emperor Longchang had long been impatient and urged: "Shouzhe, young man, don’t keep us in suspense. What exactly is the matter? Spit it out quickly."

"It’s like this." Wang Shouzhe organized his words briefly said, "I received reliable information that the countries of Western Jin and Southern Qin are about to launch a national war against Daqian and have already begun war preparations."

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhencang and Emperor Longchang both showed a simultaneous change in expression.

"Is the information reliable?" Jiang Zhencang instinctively sought to confirm the source of the information.

Emperor Longchang, however, was already enraged, slamming the table and readying himself to fight: "I haven’t even gone to trouble them yet, and Yuanyou and Yanqing dare to wage war on Daqian. Do those two brats really think their lives are too long?!"
