All the civil and military officials shuddered and lowered their heads even further.
"Come and tell your teacher, who made you suffer such a great injustice, and you come to me crying as soon as we meet?"
Chu Yang's eyes turned cold, and a terrifying aura instantly enveloped the entire hall!
Everyone in the hall was deathly pale, and those who were kneeling on one knee had turned into prostrating themselves, trembling uncontrollably.
Tang Huo'er burst into laughter through her tears, "Teacher... please don't scare them!"
"Rise, my subjects! I have seen all your past actions!"
"Do not disappoint my expectations in the future, or don't blame me for not showing any mercy!"
Her words were clearly a veiled reference to the marquises, princes, and dukes.
Seeing Chu Yang appear, and even just his aura was enough to make the several peak Dou Sheng experts present tremble, who would dare to harbor any ulterior motives?
"Your Majesty! Emperor Chu! We take our leave!" Only after Chu Yang had concealed his aura did they hurriedly rise, bow, and leave the hall.
Tang Huo'er released her grip on Chu Yang, glanced at his soaked clothes, and blushed.
The maid had already wisely left, leaving only the master and disciple in the hall.
Seeing the empress, who was so poised and decisive just moments before, now looking like a wronged little girl with tears streaming down her face, Chu Yang couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.
"Before I came here, I toured around the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty. It was done well, even better than I expected."
Ruffled Tang Huo'er's hair and teased, "When you're emotional, you don't forget to use my influence to reprimand those ministers. You do have the air of an empress."
Tang Huo'er looked embarrassed and lowered her head, saying, "Teacher, please stop teasing me. Even if I am the Empress of Great Xia, I am still the disciple who soaks your feet, scrubs your back, and serves you tea and water..."
Chu Yang was stunned for a moment, then said with a dark face, "When did I ask you to soak my feet and scrub my back?"
As he spoke, he glanced sideways at the entrance of the main hall and said irritably, "Now that you're here, why are you hiding?"
Nalan Yanran walked in, a playful look on her face, and said, "Well, yeah! Junior brother! You're treating your junior nephew like a maid!"
Tang Huo'er covered her mouth and chuckled, her previous pitiful and aggrieved look completely gone.
However, Chu Yang smiled instead, feeling quite gratified by Tang Huo'er's growth.
…………
Night falls in front of the Golden Palace.
The maids and guards stared at the barbecue grill set up in front of the main hall, and at the six people eating with their mouths full of oil, all looking unsure where to look.
If I witnessed such a scene, will I be silenced?
Those sitting around the barbecue grill right now are some of the most powerful and influential figures on the continent!
Besides Chu Yang and his apprentice, and Yun Yun and her apprentice, Xiao Xiao and Dan Tong also came to join in the fun.
It is worth mentioning that Xiao Xiao's cultivation has now reached the peak of Dou Sheng, and his strength is comparable to that of a "half-emperor".
In fact, compared to most of the high-ranking officials of the Great Xia Dynasty and the Yunlan Sect, Yun Yun, Nalan Yanran, and Tang Huo'er's cultivation improvement speed was slower.
This is not because they lack talent, nor because their cultivation methods are inferior to others, but because they have all taken a different path.
For others, becoming a Dou Di is already the pinnacle. Even with the connection between the Great Thousand World and the Dou Qi Continent, being able to break through to the Earth Supreme in one's lifetime is already considered lucky. But for the three women, becoming a Dou Di is just the beginning!
Before breaking through to the Dou Di realm, which is to condense the Supreme Sea, they need to proceed steadily and solidify their foundation.
In contrast, Xiao Xiao and Dan Tong are both super magical beasts, one of whom has already upgraded to the peak of the fourth generation and undergone bloodline transformation.
The other entity is an elixir, so there's no need to consider the foundation at all.
"You guys go down first!"
Looking at the uneasy guards and maids, Tang Huo'er smiled and waved.
Since His Majesty was smiling so happily, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly took their leave.
In fact, even disregarding the strength of Chu Yang and his companions, there was absolutely no need for protection within the palace, because no one dared to cause trouble in the Great Xia Imperial Palace.
The reason Nalan Yanran and Tang Huo'er had these people stay was simply because they wanted to "show off" to Chu Yang, and to have the guards and maids help them out... (End of Chapter)
Chapter 363 Development Direction! The Soul Clan's True Colors Revealed! The Supreme Sea!
"Master, you said... I come from 'Beyond the Heavens'?"
Xiao Xiao looked at Chu Yang, wiped the grease from her mouth, and looked shocked.
Everyone's attention was focused on Chu Yang. Previously, they had only learned of the existence of "Outer Heaven" through Chu Yang, but they had no understanding of it.
When Chu Yang brought up the matter of the Outer Heavens, everyone perked up.
Chu Yang shook his head and said, "This is just my speculation. Your bloodline is extraordinary, stronger than those ancient species in the Desolate Ancient Domain, or even the three major races of magical beasts."
Xiao Xiao blinked her eyes and said in a crisp voice, "But... this bloodline was clearly bestowed upon me by my master!"
Chu Yang gently tapped his head and said irritably, "What are you thinking about?"
"If I could freely bestow bloodlines with potential exceeding that of a Dou Di, wouldn't that allow everyone on the Dou Qi Continent to become an emperor?"
Xiao Xiao covered her head, feigning pain, her eyes filled with confusion.
Chu Yang said softly, "I only enhanced your bloodline. If your bloodline hadn't been extraordinary to begin with, you wouldn't have reached your current level."
"He's like the demonic wind of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, but his bloodline started at a lower level than yours, so even after his improvement, he's still far behind you."
After pausing for a moment, Chu Yang continued, "Before I help you improve, your bloodline is no weaker than that of the Ancient Dragon-Phoenix."
Hearing him say that, everyone suddenly understood, and their eyes became more curious as they looked at Xiao Xiao.
This girl might actually be from outer space?
Chu Yang continued, "In the Dou Qi Continent, even in ancient times, there were only a handful of bloodlines that reached that level, and it was impossible for them to remain unknown."
"And even if the race is declining, it shouldn't be that you're the only survivor left, holed up in this small Monster Mountain Range."
That's why I guessed that you might be from outside the Dou Qi Continent.
Everyone understood what he meant. Whether it was the ancient dragon-phoenix, the ancient heavenly phoenix, the ancient heavenly serpent, or the nine-colored heaven-devouring python, they were all extremely powerful beings in ancient times.
Even though their bloodline is no longer at its peak, they have all left behind some offshoots of their race, which are still active on the continent.
After all, in ancient times, these powerful magical beasts were all capable of reaching the level of Dou Di.
Although the bloodline of the Dou Di will gradually dilute over time, it requires a long process.
Chu Yang sensed the crowd's thirst for knowledge and chuckled, "The 'Heavens Beyond Heaven' you speak of is actually called the Great Thousand Worlds."
"The Great Thousand Realms is the higher plane of this world, connecting to countless lower planes, and the Dou Qi Continent is one of them."
"On the Dou Qi Continent, Dou Di experts are already the pinnacle of existence, but in the Great Thousand World, they can only reign supreme in some remote areas."
Yun Yun tentatively asked, "Just like the Yunlan Sect of the past?"
Chu Yang nodded. "That's one way to understand it. A Dou Di is equivalent to the Supreme Realm in the Great Thousand Worlds, while a Supreme Realm expert has only just stepped into the threshold of becoming a strong person."
Next, Chu Yang gave a brief explanation to everyone about the general concept of the Great Thousand Worlds, the division of realms, and its general structure.
After he finished speaking, Nalan Yanran asked with a complicated expression, "So... Junior Brother, you also come from the Great Thousand World?"
Everyone's eyes narrowed, and they all looked at Chu Yang with different expressions.
The fact that he can produce a large number of cultivation techniques and fighting skills that surpass the Heavenly Rank, his talent is unparalleled on the continent, and he has such a deep understanding of the Great Thousand Worlds, seems to prove from any angle that Chu Yang comes from the Great Thousand Worlds.
After all, the Dou Qi Continent and the Great Thousand World have been isolated for countless years, and there are no records of the Great Thousand World on the continent. If they did not come from that world, how could they know the situation there so well?
Chu Yang shook his head and said, "That's not the case. I only learned about many things about the Great Thousand World through the Bodhi Ancient Tree."
The spirit of the Bodhi Tree is merging with Pangu, and as long as Chu Yang doesn't awaken it, the spirit will remain dormant, unaware that it has unwittingly taken the blame for Chu Yang.
Hearing him say this, no one doubted him anymore, since everyone knew that Chu Yang had joined the Yunlan Sect since childhood.
As Chu Yang just mentioned, the reason why there has been no Dou Qi Continent since the time of Emperor Tuoshe is because it is isolated from the Great Thousand Worlds and cannot draw in spiritual energy.
Without spiritual power as a catalyst to break through to the Dou Di level, the maximum limit for cultivating Dou Qi is only the peak of Dou Sheng.
The fact that even the peak Dou Sheng experts are still stuck means that there is no spiritual power on the Dou Qi Continent, which means that it is still not connected to the Great Thousand World. So how could Chu Yang come from the Great Thousand World?
After everyone had digested all the information, Chu Yang slowly said, "Next, let's talk about the development direction of the Great Xia Dynasty and the Yunlan Sect."
Upon hearing his words, Tang Huo'er and Xiao Xiao sat up straighter. Chu Yang continued:
"I will go into seclusion for a month to try and break through to the Supreme Realm."
"After you leave the pass, go and find any spatial node that can connect to the vast world."
"Once the Dou Qi Continent connects with the Great Thousand World, all the top experts of the Yunlan Sect will join the Great Xia Dynasty and enter the Great Thousand World together with the experts of the Great Xia Dynasty."
"The Dou Qi Continent will maintain its existing structure, and all matters of the Imperial Dynasty will be handled by the Assistant Ministers."
"The imperial dynasty has moved its foundation to the Great Thousand World, while the Yunlan Sect still takes the Dou Qi Continent as its base."
"In the future, Yunlan Sect will be responsible for recruiting and training disciples in the Great Thousand Worlds, and will build the Dou Qi Continent into a sacred place for sects."
"The Great Xia Dynasty can recruit talents within the Yunlan Sect, absorb fresh blood internally, and form an ecosystem."
If it were any other powerful figure on the Battle Arena, they wouldn't have understood Chu Yang's last words.
However, everyone present had been exposed to the Black Tower and a great deal of knowledge and information from the Super God World, and possessed the mindset of those who had traveled through time, so they could easily understand the meaning of "internal digestion" and "ecosystem".
