Jiu Xuan and the others looked in the direction of the black-robed man. They didn't see anyone, but they could hear the sound of someone stepping on dead branches and leaves. Hearing this sound, Qin Shaobai whispered to the black-robed man," You can leave now. Follow the original plan. I'm safe with them. Don't worry about me."”When the black-robed man heard Qin Shaobai's words, he stood up and bowed to Jiu Xuan and Ru Mochen." Then I'll have to trouble the two of you to take care of my master. If we're fated to meet again in the future, feel free to tell me if there's anything you need. I won't hesitate to do anything."”After Jiu Xuan and Ru Mochen returned the greeting, they were about to say something when they realized that the black-robed man had already disappeared.
Hearing Jiu Xuan's question, Nangong Zhuo was slightly stunned. Then, he smiled and said," That's right. I am the Third Prince of the Zhonghua Empire. I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable."”As he spoke, Nangong Zhuo sat down beside Ru Mochen. He seemed to be very familiar with him. After he sat down, he looked at the messy land around him with a deep meaning. Then, he asked," Brothers, did a big battle just happen nearby?"”
Ru Mochen nodded and said," Your guess is correct. There was indeed a huge battle nearby. The two of us were lucky enough to survive." You don't have to keep calling us brothers. My name is Ru Mochen, and his name is Li Jiuxuan. You can just call us by our names.”Jiu Xuan nodded his head, indicating that he agreed with Ru Mochen's words. Nangong Zhuo looked at the two of them and laughed loudly,"Brother Mo Chen is indeed humble. I think the two of you are extraordinary. Could it be that the person you are fighting is a demonic beast?"”
When Ru Mochen heard this, a bitter smile appeared on his face. He said," Jiu Xuan, you might have misunderstood what I said back then. When I said that I would serve the country by taking a military post, I meant to protect the country, not to go into battle to kill the enemy.”"Why don't you go into battle to kill the enemy?" Jiu Xuan asked with some doubt.”Hearing his question, Ru Mochen and Nangong Zhuo looked at Jiu Xuan in surprise and asked in unison,"You don't know?"”
Jiu Xuan was a little confused by their reactions. He nodded subconsciously and said,"Should I know something?"”Seeing him like this, Ru Mochen held his forehead and looked at Nangong Zhuo. He said,"Do you want me to explain or do you want to explain?"”Nangong Zhuo thought for a moment and said,"Let me explain it to Brother Jiuxuan."”Jiu Xuan looked at them curiously and asked,"Explain what?"”
Nangong Zhuo cleared his throat and said,"Brother Jiuxuan, I'll explain to you why you can't go into battle to kill the enemy."”Jiu Xuan nodded, indicating that he was listening. Seeing him like this, Nangong Zhuo smiled and continued," The reason why you can't go into battle to kill the enemy is because there is a rule in this world. When mortal empires are fighting, Dao cultivators can't lead troops to kill the enemy, nor can they charge into the battle.”Hearing this, Jiu Xuan said with some doubt,"Dao cultivators can't directly participate in the battle, but can body cultivators?"”
Nangong Zhuo nodded helplessly. Then, he said," Brother Jiuxuan, your guess is right and wrong. Dao cultivators are forbidden from directly participating in the war between mortal empires. Powerful body cultivators are also forbidden from directly participating in the war. Therefore, the body cultivators who can directly participate in the war are not too strong.”Hearing this, Jiu Xuan was even more puzzled. He looked at Nangong Zhuo and could not help but ask," Then who set this rule? What's the purpose of setting this rule?"”
Nangong Zhuo didn't seem to be able to answer Jiu Xuan's question. He didn't say anything for a long time, which made Jiu Xuan a little anxious. At this time, he heard Ru Mochen say," The one who set this rule is the Emperor. The reason why this rule exists is to maintain the balance between the mortal countries. After all, whether it's a Dao Cultivator or a body cultivator, once they are strong enough, they are enough to affect the outcome of a war."On the other hand, it's also for our Dao Cultivation. Wars between mortals will produce countless resentment and killing intent. These things are extremely disadvantageous to our Dao Cultivation in the future. Moreover, during the war, the military aura of the two armies will also suppress our Dao Cultivation strength, which makes us Dao Cultivation very uncomfortable in the war.”
This was the first time they had heard such a statement. Jiu Xuan and Nangong Zhuo were a little surprised. Before Jiu Xuan could speak, Nangong Zhuo asked first," Then, will the Dao Cultivators guarding the capital not be affected by the military aura?"”Ru Mochen nodded and said," There are many ways for Dao Cultivators to not be affected by the military aura. There are two of the simplest ways. One is to have a high cultivation level, and the other is to stay in a place where the national fate dragon aura is sufficient. The national fate dragon aura is enough to wash away the military aura. Therefore, ordinary Dao Cultivators are guarding the country, which is the so-called imperial consecration. I believe you have seen it.”Nangong Zhuo nodded, indicating that he had indeed seen those people before.
Seeing that the two of them had finished speaking, Jiu Xuan looked at Ru Mochen and asked curiously,"Mo Chen, you said that the one who set this rule was the Emperor. Who is this Emperor?" Why did these people have to abide by the rules he set?”Jiu Xuan's question surprised Ru Mochen and Nangong Zhuo. They exclaimed in unison,"You don't know about the Emperor?"”Jiu Xuan rolled his eyes and muttered,"Why should I know?"”Before Nangong Zhuo and the others could say anything, Qin Shaobai, who had been quiet the whole time, laughed out loud.”
Ru Mochen sighed and said," I'm not sure about this either. However, it's said that it has something to do with the rules of the world. There was once a poem about this Emperor that praised him. He held a sharp blade in his hand and turned the golden wheel. He smiled at the gods of Allheaven. Separating the two elements to stabilize the chaos, looking down on the emperor of the Eight Desolates.”Hearing the poem that Ru Mochen was reading, Jiu Xuan muttered," He looks down on the Eight Desolates Emperor. He's so domineering. If I'm fated to meet this Emperor, it should be a blessing in my life."”
Hearing his muttering, Ru Mochen smiled and said,"As long as we can reach the peak of Dao Cultivation, I believe that we will be able to see this Emperor one day."”Nangong Zhuo also replied,"The two of you are not ordinary people. I believe that you will definitely be able to achieve what you want."”At this moment, Jiu Xuan seemed to have thought of another problem. He looked at Nangong Zhuo and asked,"What if we Dao Cultivators lead troops to war and break the rules of the Emperor?"”
