Transmigration begins with archery training

"You should know that you are of the same generation as Sun Xiangzong, while Chen Sanshi is just your nephew!"

"If word got out that Elder Mu was being so cowardly, wouldn't people laugh their heads off?"

"..."

Mu Fengchun gave a self-deprecating sneer: "Your Highness, I have lost to Sun Xiangzong. He is right. Manipulating people's hearts is nothing but a low-class trick, which is no match for a true hero."

"I am indeed no match for Chen Sanshi. It is said that another immortal master has come to Shenzhou. I would like to ask Your Highness to allow this old minister to make room for me."

Looking back on those days.

He was not ashamed of Sun Xiangzong's aloofness, and the other party was not ashamed of his own scheming and trickery.

The difference in skill level has now been determined.

His fighting spirit is indeed gone.

Mu Fengchun had read the detailed battle report, including how Chen Sanshi burned the fasting pill, starved himself and his men, and later even received help from the people of the city...

Even after the heads were delivered to Qiantang Prefecture, the Northern Liang army held out for a long time until Chen Sanshi arrived at the city.

Sun Xiangzong is right.

Intrigues and schemes are like ants trying to shake a tree in the face of true power.

"Since Your Highness is so kind, then this old minister shall take his leave."

Say it.

Mu Fengchun gently placed his official hat on the ground, and without waiting for the two princes' consent, he leaned on his cane and walked out of the main hall, trembling.

"What...what should we do?!"

The King of Qi slapped his forehead and said, "How should we quell the rebellion next?"

"Go and inform Father Emperor first!"

The King of Qin said, "After the Northern Liang army entered the Central Plains, the Kunlun Mountains are no longer safe!"

……

Kunlun Mountains.

A blessed place.

Battle reports were sent from the capital to this place, but they were all intercepted outside the cave.

Huang Hong looked at the shocking contents on the document and paced anxiously back and forth in front of the door, but dared not go in to disturb them.

Inside the cave.

As the last trace of healing pills in his body was completely absorbed, Emperor Longqing's injuries were healed, and he was in peak physical and mental condition.

This is an essential procedure before foundation building.

Foundation building can fail.

Failure could result in anything from a regression in cultivation, leaving one with no hope of ever reaching the Foundation Establishment stage again, to the complete annihilation of one's life and cultivation.

Therefore.

Before embarking on the Foundation Establishment stage, cultivators are extremely cautious and make thorough preparations.

During the blood sacrifice in Liangzhou, Emperor Longqing was accidentally tainted by evil energy. It took him a lot of effort to get rid of it, but on his way to seclusion in Kunlun Mountain, he was assassinated by Xunxianlou and suffered some minor injuries.

It was only today that it recovered to its full glory.

Next, you can officially begin your seclusion.

In a few months to a year or two, one can establish the path to immortality!

Emperor Longqing was not lacking in talent; on the contrary, he was exceptionally talented. Even in Tianshui Continent, any sect would be willing to accept him as their true disciple.

The reason why he only reached the Foundation Establishment stage at such an old age is partly because he did not obtain the true method when he was young, and partly because he did not have enough resources. It was only later, when he had enough spiritual energy, coupled with the ten-day life extension in Yunzhou and the nourishment of his qi and blood, that his cultivation progressed rapidly.

Furthermore, with the availability of Foundation Establishment Pills now available, the success rate of Foundation Establishment is over 90%.

"..."

Emperor Longqing, who was sitting cross-legged, did not rush to take the next step. He slowly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice to the outside of the stone door, "Come in."

"Om!"

The stone gate opened.

Huang Hong rushed in: "Your Majesty, have I disturbed you? It is indeed an urgent matter!"

"Failed?"

The last time the Longqing Emperor received news was when the White Robe was secretly repairing the plank road while crossing Yinping. Suddenly, divine troops descended upon Hongdu Prefecture, cutting off the retreat of Chunqiu Prefecture. Then, Mu Fengchun offered a plan to concentrate superior forces to eliminate the Northern Liang army first.

Seeing the eunuch's flustered appearance, he had a guess in his mind.

"And it was a crushing defeat!"

Huang Hong gave an affirmative answer: "The traitor Chen Sanshi first defeated 200,000 troops in Sparrow Rat Valley, and then went to Qiantang Prefecture to put on a show of removing his mask before the battle. Not only were the 300,000 troops wiped out, but even the Ninth Prince and several immortal masters died for their country..."

"now.

"The rebels from Northern Liang are gathering troops in the Central Plains and will likely continue their southward advance soon. There are no troops near Kunlun Mountain, and I am worried that they will disturb Your Majesty's seclusion. Therefore, I request Your Majesty to move your residence."

"..."

When the Longqing Emperor received the battle reports, he personally reviewed them, browsing through the details of each battle. His eyes twitched almost imperceptibly, making his already deep black pupils appear even more like an abyss.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, his expression finally shifted, and it was a hint of...

sad!

"Huang Hong~"

The Longqing Emperor sighed deeply, "My empire is in chaos..."

"Your Majesty, this is only temporary."

Huang Hong said from the bottom of his heart, "Once Your Majesty has successfully established your foundation, you will surely be able to sweep across the land, restore the country and society, and achieve a true hegemony that will last for a thousand years, a peaceful and prosperous era."

"Even you, a mere servant, understand this principle, so why don't they all understand?"

The Longqing Emperor spoke somewhat hastily: "Sun Xiangzong doesn't understand, my son doesn't understand, and this Chen Sanshi doesn't understand either. I've heard that he's been using the elimination of Linghe as a way to win people's hearts along the way?"

"Naive, extremely naive."

"Does the Emperor not want more grain to grow in the fields? That is the source of the Great Sheng's tax revenue and the foundation of the nation's prosperity and strength."

"I have been enduring this, enduring it for them, for this world."

"I still remember how arrogant they were when I first met these so-called 'immortals,' looking down on me and my people as ants and wanting to trample everything under their feet."

"It was I who negotiated with them all along."

"We have come this far step by step, and even the people from the Shengyun Sect have to address me as Your Majesty!"

"The matter of the seal has been wavering for many years."

"I have always known that they would eventually flood into Shenzhou. I have always wanted to protect all people. Sun Xiangzong could have helped me, but he kept it from me and didn't tell me."

"Now his good apprentice also thinks he's great?"

"Do you know what the consequences will be if we rashly eliminate Linghe and offend all the sects?"

"Why can't we wait a little longer? Even if it's until I reach the Foundation Establishment stage, I will no longer need to be beholden to any sect. Instead, they will have to do the opposite, and everyone who steps into the Eastern Divine Continent will have to bow down to me."

"Your Majesty, calm down."

Huang Hong immediately knelt down: "Your Majesty, why should you be angry with these ignorant and foolish ministers?"

"I am not angry."

The Longqing Emperor let out a long sigh: "I am over a hundred years old. When people get old, they inevitably feel sentimental. Oh well, let them be. Everything will be over soon."

"What are the arrangements in the capital?"

"Replying to your Majesty."

Huang Hong said, "His Highness the Prince of Qin is still in charge of the government. There are still a million troops in the Central Plains. Recently, a group of immortal masters have arrived at the palace in Kunlun Mountain, including the close friend of the military immortal Han Xiang."
