Confined to one's home at the start, studied for ten years, and became a saint and ancestor.

Lu Feifan named the puppy Heitian.

He currently possesses numerous treasures, such as elixirs.

He himself didn't need them, but after raising Heitian, those yellow-grade pills became useful.

It can be used as animal feed.

Chen Bo didn't lie to him.

This dog's bloodline is indeed extraordinary.

Under Lu Feifan's care, his strength improved rapidly.

A little puppy, in less than half a month, had already reached the strength of the Acquired Realm.

"Brother Lu, some explosive news happened yesterday!"

"Despite being rejected last time, Tianmen Mountain hasn't given up and has proposed again. This time, they've even stated that they're willing to unite the two sides and allow members of the royal family to jointly study the Heavenly Extreme Sword Technique!"

"Everyone is saying that the true disciple is the illegitimate son of the Supreme Elder of Tianmen Mountain, otherwise how could he have come to this!"

The emperor was very interested, but unfortunately the princess still refused!

"The true disciple of Tianmen Mountain has broken through the defenses again. It is said that he said some taboo words, but no one knows what they were. The two sides almost got into a conflict. Anyway, in the end, he was severely punished by their elder and beaten half to death to give an explanation to the royal family."

"It is said that they left the capital yesterday, leaving no trace of their base. It seems like they have completely fallen out."

"What exactly was said that led to this? Those who attended the court assembly all kept quiet about it. I asked the old man, but he wouldn't tell me either."

Chen Bo brought Lu Feifan another piece of news.

"Tianmen Mountain is known as the number one sect in the Great Xia Dynasty, and its strength is quite formidable."

"After the destruction of the Northern Liang army, the royal family was severely weakened. At this time, it is actually very necessary to win over Tianmen Mountain. I don't know why the princess just doesn't like that true disciple!"

Chen Bo shook his head.

"The princess has been at Tianmen Mountain for several years. Perhaps she has seen what that true disciple has done and looks down on him!"

"Moreover, although Tianmen Mountain is powerful, it would be too simplistic to think that it can become an ally of the Great Xia royal family. This is not something that can be won over by a mere marriage!"

"Let alone whether that true disciple is the illegitimate son of the Supreme Elder of Tianmen Mountain, it's still uncertain. Even if he is, it's impossible for things to turn out this way because of him!"

"The Four Sacred Sects of Great Xia have always harbored wolfish ambitions, attempting to control the world through their sects. This time, their eagerness to form a marriage alliance is merely a result of their perception of the royal family's weakness, and their desire to seize power with minimal cost!"

"Such a simple truth, whether it's the royal family or the old folks in our family, they all understand it perfectly well. There's no way they would agree to it. To say that the emperor is tempted is pure nonsense, unless he's lost his mind!"

Lu Feifan chuckled.

"hiss!"

"Brother Lu, what's wrong with you?!"

"To be able to make such a reasonable analysis!"

"It seems that reading books is really useful! I'm thinking of spending a few days with you to broaden my mind."

Lu Feifan was speechless.

This guy's way of thinking is truly unique.

Chen Bo did start reading books with Lu Feifan, but he only lasted two days before running away.

He suddenly realized that as long as his brain was good enough, it didn't need to grow any longer.

…………

"He's not dead yet! Not dead!"

"I won't be satisfied until I kill him!"

In a small town three hundred miles outside the capital.

When the team from Tianmen Mountain stopped to rest.

Mei Feiyang, lying in the carriage, opened his eyes and roared angrily in frustration.

"Nonsense, haven't you embarrassed yourself enough?"

"Take good care of your injuries. If you continue like this, the Supreme Elder will despise you, and you'll lose your status as a true disciple!"

Another old man in the carriage glanced at him and said with great disappointment.

"Just a woman!"

"The Great Xia Dynasty is nearing its end. In a few years, Tianmen Mountain will replace the Great Xia Dynasty and establish its rule over the world. You can have any woman you want, and you can kill whoever you want by tearing them to pieces!"

"Nothing can be rushed. We are martial artists, and you have the potential to become a god. You will have five hundred years of life. A few years will be nothing more than a blink of an eye for you. Can't you even wait that long?"

"With such a mindset, how can one reach the pinnacle!"

After hearing the old man's words, Mei Feiyang, though still filled with murderous intent, finally calmed down a bit.

"Then let that guy live a few more years!"

"And, junior sister, you're mine!"

"It can only be mine!"

Mei Feiyang became excited again, which made the old man next to him shake his head.

If this kid weren't a direct descendant of the Supreme Being, even if he truly had talent, his character would make it difficult for him to be a true successor.

…………

Ever since Tianmen Mountain parted ways with the royal family on bad terms.

Every time Chen Bo came over, he would tell Lu Feifan about the changes happening in various parts of the Great Xia Dynasty.

The disastrous defeat of Northern Liang set off a prelude to the collapse of the Great Xia dynasty.

Beset by storms!

Leaving aside the unrest on the border, various disturbances are constantly emerging in the local areas alone.

Even in some places with powerful clans, some people openly raised the banner of rebellion.

The world, which was originally doing well, suddenly descended into chaos in an instant.

Anyway, right now everyone in the imperial court is discussing which place has a problem and needs the court to suppress it.

The current situation is that it's impossible to suppress it all; the more you suppress it, the more it accumulates.

However, the capital city was fine; everything was calm and peaceful, as if nothing had happened and nothing from the outside world could affect it.

But all of this is just the surface; the surging undercurrents are invisible to ordinary people.

But the powerful and wealthy could deeply sense that a change in the world was imminent.

Even Chen Bo knew that the Eight Pillars were no longer as united as they used to be.

To know.

Eight Pillar Kingdom.

Representing the eight noble families, they were bound to the fate of the nation.

The Great Xia Dynasty lasted for eight hundred years.

It was conquered by the Great Ancestor of the Great Xia Dynasty and the eight Grand Pillar Ancestors.

This is a world of high martial arts, where martial arts masters can attain divine powers.

The emperor and the eight Grand Pillars of State were in a superior-subordinate relationship, but also belonged to an alliance.

Although the eight great families of the Shangzhu Kingdom have made great contributions and are powerful, the royal family has never thought of turning against them.

After all, they needed the eight major Shangzhu clans to maintain their rule.

Otherwise, the royal family alone, not to mention external enemies, would not be able to maintain its internal stability.

The interests of the royal family and the interests of the eight Grand Generals are actually aligned.

Frankly speaking, if the eight major ethnic groups don't have any problems, they will remain as united as they were at the founding of the nation.

Even if the Northern Liang suffers a crushing defeat and the empire's power is damaged, it can still maintain its strength. If it can cultivate a super-strong fighting force and create one or two powerful legions in a few decades, the Great Xia will still be the Great Xia.

pity!

People's hearts are yearning for change.

Even the eight great families who share the fate of the nation.

Problems still inevitably arose.

Actually, they've already reached a high enough position.

It would be more in their interest to keep everything as it is now.

However, there has never been a shortage of people with brains slammed in doors throughout history.

This doesn't change just because they're in a high position.
