Chapter 1100: Chapter 1048-1049 Life Simulation – Changing Situations Desperate Measures_2 Chapter 1100: Chapter 1048-1049 Life Simulation – Changing Situations Desperate Measures_2 However, the situation of the Da Ye Dynasty had been dragging on for over a decade, which had given their opponents ample time to convert numerous resources into combat power. Even if it was just half the territory, it still constituted an extremely powerful force.
They had already experienced the wonders of Qi Luck, which could greatly assist cultivators in enhancing their strength and breaking through bottlenecks in a short period of time.
With the power of the Seven Calamities Ghost Immortal, the founder of the Da Ye Dynasty, if Qi Luck were sufficient, it was entirely possible to breakthrough to the Eight Tribulations Ghost Immortal or even the Nine Tribulations Ghost Immortal level. Even if it were not necessary to reach the level of the Nine Tribulations Ghost Immortal.
Over the years, the Da Ye Dynasty had searched for countless inherited secrets and techniques. With the power of an Eight Tribulations Ghost Immortal, combined with the dynasty's Qi Luck and terrifying Taoist techniques from such inheritance, they likely had the capacity to contend with the peak powerhouses of top religious sects and noble families.
By then, all their plans would lose any significance for them. They could only rely on their own strength to confront the Da Ye Dynasty head-on.
Even if a peak powerhouse took a deadly stand, the cost they would have to pay to eradicate and suppress the opposition was more than they could bear.
Therefore, the heads of these religious sects and noble families really did not want to see this situation occur.
The task of dynastic change, seen as trivial by the various religious sects and noble families, was driven mostly by powerhouses at the level of Seven Calamities Ghost Immortal or the Human Immortal peak.
Even if Eight Tribulations Ghost Immortals or substantiated powerhouses of Martial Arts were involved, most were hands-off, and didn't place much importance on these matters.
As a Seven Calamities Ghost Immortal, the founder of the Da Ye Dynasty was formidable, but it would be easy to suppress him with a joint effort from various religious sects and noble families, without incurring too much cost.
However, the appearance of an Eight Tribulations Ghost Immortal meant that the situation had moved beyond their control, beyond what they could handle, necessitating the intervention of powerful figures from some religious sects and noble families.
Even if the dynastic change was successfully pushed forward, it would inevitably leave an impression of inadequacy within their own sects and families, which would be disadvantageous in the future.
This was why the introduction of the Method of Qi Luck by Shenxiao True Monarch had drawn dissatisfaction from various quarters. But faced with a powerhouse at the peak of the Great Thousand Worlds, their discontent amounted to nothing.
Of course, although their position in this dynastic transition of the Da Ye Dynasty was not insignificant, making them akin to semi-players in the game, in the grander scheme of the Great Thousand Worlds, it was not the case.
When Pei Xuanjing revealed the Method of Qi Luck and made his move, it signified that this game of chess had escalated. It was no longer under their control; they had moved from being players to pawns within the game.
When Meng Wushang and the Creator Sect Master began to tacitly allow Pei Xuanjing to act, letting him continually support the founder of the Da Ye Dynasty to grow stronger and escalate the crisis, it meant that this dynastic transition had exceeded their control.
Unfortunately, these people were completely unaware, and nobody would tell them.
Powerhouses like Meng Wushang and the Creator Sect Master were well aware that this was most beneficial for them. However, this was not the case for the general religious sects, so they did not publicize it, instead subtly exacerbating the situation.
Even today's events had been anticipated by these powerhouses, who thought that the founder of the Da Ye Dynasty was growing too slowly.
As a key player in this dynastic transition, the stronger the Da Ye Dynasty and its founder became, the greater the resistance they would face during the dynastic overthrow, and the greater the benefits they would reap in the end.
The strong Da Ye Dynasty, in its resistance, could act like a sword in their hands, sweeping away some weaker forces. After their eventual intervention, these benefits would transform into their own gains.
In the midst of these people's discussions, the Wei King and other royal princes continuously returned to Da Xing City.
At that time, although it was still the reign of the old Emperor in Da Xing City, Emperor Xuanzong had truly taken control of everything, even accepting the formerly traitorous Wei King, giving them a chance, an action also decided by Emperor Xuanzong.
Just as it had been agreed upon initially, when Wei King and his men returned, their forces were immediately taken over by Xuanzong's men, and their Qi Luck was seized as well.
After all, belonging to the Da Ye Dynasty, the Qi Luck, originating from the same source, was transferred without any obstacles, most conveniently.
Of course, Emperor Xuanzong also, as initially agreed, though he stripped Wei King and the others of everything, left them their lives and even preserved a part of their rights.
“Father, why maintain their rights? Preserving their lives is already a great favor,” the Emperor of Da Ye asked Emperor Xuanzong.
Although the princes, who were spared, were his own sons, at this moment the old Emperor of Da Ye showed no sympathy, but rather felt his father, Emperor Xuanzong, was too lenient with these people.
As an emperor, he naturally valued his own authority most, and he was very dissatisfied with these acts of betrayal by his former sons.
“No need, I, being the Emperor, promised to pardon them and thus will not pursue the matter any further,” Emperor Xuanzong slightly shook his head, making the final verdict.
Though the two were father and son, within the royal family, with myriad calculations and struggles for power, the extent of their familial affection was uncertain.
Just like right now, his son before him with such a stern expression, as if he should not forgive those prince sons, but who knows if what the other side shows is genuine?
The so-called royal families lack familial love, but there's also the saying that even tigers do not eat their offspring.
It's hard to guarantee that the Emperor wanted a precise answer from him to ensure that this wasn't just a temporary compromise, waiting for a day of reckoning in the future.
However, regardless, his response was a definitive one and would not change repeatedly.
These prince sons had once been separatists, but today, bringing back Qi Luck and troops was meritorious. Balancing merits with demerits wasn't unwarranted.
Moreover, now was a time when the Da Ye Dynasty was in need of people, and there was no need to be overly harsh on these individuals because they still held certain value.
After all, for these prince sons, they had no way out in the current circumstances, and even if just for their own survival, they had no choice but to give their last drop of blood for Da Ye.
All these prince sons possessed remarkable strength, even standing out among them were those who had stepped half into the Human Immortal Realm, the initial stage of Human Immortal, whose abilities could match those of the Five Tribulations Ghost Immortal and Six Tribulations Ghost Immortal, a rare asset even for the Da Ye Dynasty.
“The Method of Qi Luck is indeed profound; however, the more you rely on this cultivation method to significantly increase your strength, I grow even more curious about what exactly you want to do?” Doubt flickered in Emperor Xuanzong's eyes.
Over the years, as he augmented his power with Qi Luck added, he further advanced, reaching the essence of martial intent, and wielding some mysterious techniques and martial techniques, with a Divine Weapon in hand, even ordinary Eight Tribulations Ghost Immortals were no match for him.
Of course, as Emperor Xuanzong's time in cultivation was too short, such a rapid increase through Qi Luck also depleted his foundation, and he knew that within a short period, his power had reached its limits, making it impossible to advance further, and even requiring more time to replenish his foundation.
In such a desperate move, if it were in the past, he certainly would not have agreed, but now he was absolutely unwilling to hesitate, as in the upcoming overall situation, without sufficient combat strength, surviving would be difficult, let alone the future.
And with growing strength, the terror of the Shenxiao True Monarch became even more apparent; even now, he was unclear about what the other party ultimately wanted, why he was doing this.
