Chapter 562: 562
Saint Qing Xiao shook his head and said, "I've heard a little about this, but I don't think it's a good idea . Can people like the Nine Emperors be cultivated simply by accumulating resources?
"Furthermore, the powerful families have started contending with one another, through both open and covert means . They would all like to have an Heir of Kunlun's Field . Even Taiji Sect, Thousand Buddhas Sect, and Confucian Sect now send their best disciples into the world to vie for a seat . This secret trend has overwhelmed the entire Kunlun's Field . No one can say if it's a good thing . "
Elder Xuanji said, "The fact that you see this point proves you have really matured . You can indeed hold your own . However, even within Saint Academy such infighting isn't unusual!"
Saint Qing Xiao understood Elder Xuanji's intentions at once . "Could it be . . . that Master wants our junior fellow apprentice to fight for a seat?"
Elder Xuanji nodded and smiled . "Once he becomes an Heir of Kunlun Field, he will have vast quantities of practice resources . He might even become the Empress's personal disciple and succeed her to the throne . He can be the Dominator of Kunlun's Field! Such an opportunity cannot be missed . There may never be another chance!
"Besides, your junior fellow apprentice has just reached the Ultimate Realm of the Heaven Realm . This is easily the best moment to strike . Even if he doesn't vie for the seat, someone would ask him to . "
Saint Qing Xiao's expression turned rather grave . "Concerning our junior fellow apprentice, I have one more thing to report . "
"What is it?" asked Elder Xuanji .
Saint Qing Xiao replied . "The altar of the Wood Spirit Primitive World was wrecked by heretic Half-saint Tongxu . I thought the matter was closed, but intelligence from the Ministry of War revealed something more after the investigation . At the time the altar was wrecked, our junior fellow apprentice was visiting the Wood Spirit Primitive World . He had visited the Primitive World's altar, too .
"The specifics have been recorded in a top secret file by the Imperial History Board . I can't claim to know the details well . The file has already been dispatched to Kunlun's Field, to our sovereign . "
The words made Elder Xuanji assume a solemn expression . He pondered for some time, and then said, "Your junior fellow apprentice has already been carefully investigated by Saint Academy . His background is utterly clean . He can't be a spy from the heresy . You don't have to worry about this .
"Besides, given his cultivation level back then, it was unlikely that he could destroy the Primitive World's altar .
"One more thing . Even if this has something to do with him, the Empress would most likely not punish him over this trivial matter . Your junior fellow apprentice is elevated in status now . By dealing with him harshly, the Empress would displease the Saint Academy and East Region Saint Mansions . Weighing the pros and cons, I'm sure she would make the correct decision . "
Saint Qing Xiao remained rather cautious and said, "Shouldn't we question him about the details? In that way, we can prepare ourselves for the possible ire of the Empress . "
Elder Xuanji thought about it and then shook his head . "Better not . It might give him unnecessary pressure . "
Saint Qing Xiao and Elder Xuanji continued to discuss other important matters before leaving the meteorite and returning to Qinghe Palace .
Qinghe Palace was the personal palace of Eldest Senior Brother apprentice Saint Qing Xiao . It was also a manpower and administrative headquarters of the Ministry of War . Therefore, after the gathering, Zhang Ruochen and his senior fellow apprentices took up lodging at Ten Thousand Fields Tavern instead .
Upon reaching his room, Zhang Ruochen immediately took out the Yin Yang Wooden Graph and entered its inner world .
The Yin Yang Wooden Graph looked like an ordinary scroll painting on the wall . No one would guess it contained an independent inner world .
Under Blackie's leadership, the first city within the Scroll World had already taken shape, facilitated by the three Fish-dragon Realm Monks' hard labor .
The Monks of the Fish-dragon Realm were indeed excellent workers . They were exceptionally efficient laborers . One could match several hundred ordinary workers .
The entire city was constructed from huge rocks stacked to form palaces, streets, and towers . Inside lofty mountains with plenty of Spiritual Qi, so many abodes of fairies and immortals were created . Nearby streams were drawn in to form a waterfall about 100 meters high .
Blackie had planned to build first a small city that could accommodate 50,000 people . It wasn't that big a project .
Currently, it was just beginning to take shape . To truly construct a city would require lots of time to buff the place up, sculpt, and embellish .
Zhang Ruochen had some doubts . He asked, "Blackie, I'm curious . Why are you constructing a city within the Scroll World? Do you want many people to practice here?"
Blackie looked cheerfully enthusiastic but didn't give any reason . He simply smirked . "We aren't just building a city . We need to build other edifices too . And, oh! I forged two armors out of the scales of the Black Skeleton Flood-dragon King and gave them to the two girls . "
Blackie pointed his paw forward .
In the direction of its claws, Ao Xinyan and Orange Star Emissary were each seen clad in a scarlet Flood dragon armor . They soared across and descended to the foot of the city .
Both had completely recovered from their injuries .
Zhang Ruochen stroked his chin and smiled . "Why did you only forge armors for the two of them?"
Blackie replied . "Because they need to accompany me to the Battlefield of Primitive World . You and your fiancee are returning to Kunlun's Field . You two won't need an armor . "
Zhang Ruochen asked, "Are the three of you going to the Battlefield of Primitive World?"
Blackie nodded, and said, "Do you remember the altar we discovered at the Wood Spirit Primitive World? That altar is weakly connected with other Primitive Worlds . It's an important matter . I need to get to the bottom of it . "
Zhang Ruochen said, "Let me go too!"
"No need . You are now in the limelight . The major forces are all paying attention to you . If you come along, you will give us unnecessary trouble . " Blackie continued . "I am taking them along to help them gain experience in the Battlefield of Primitive World . "
Zhang Ruochen fixed his gaze on Orange Star Emissary . He asked, slightly worried, "Are you sure you can keep them under control?"
