"I, Xie Xuan, pay my respects to Your Majesty. Long live my Emperor!”
"Please rise quickly. General Xie, have you stabilized your Heaven Tier cultivation?”
This was the first time Zhu Houzhao met Xie Xuan in real life. He was indeed a gentleman from an aristocratic family. He was extremely handsome.
Especially after cultivating to the Heaven Tier, his essence, qi, and spirit had undergone a transformation, and his entire temperament was somewhat extraordinary.
If she walked on the streets like this, it might cause some chaos.
It seemed that he couldn't be allowed to enter the palace as he pleased in the future. Otherwise, if those beautiful women who were selected in the future saw him, wouldn't they be unable to forget him?
Fortunately, he had the system. Otherwise, how could such an outstanding person be loyal to him?
Liu Yu could, but he was a natural born emperor.
Xie Xuan wanted to take back his homeland, which was why he was loyal to him, even willing to sacrifice his life for it.
He, Zhu Houzhao, was just a salted fish without any ambition. How could he recruit arrogant people?
"I have stabilized myself. Thank you for your help, Your Majesty." Xie Xuan said respectfully.”
The system made him loyal to Zhu Houzhao, but it didn't destroy his ego.
What kind of emotions he should have was what kind of emotions he should have. It was just that Xie Xuan was a person who did things flawlessly.
"This is what I should do. Helping you is helping myself. Oh right, if you need it in the future, feel free to tell me.”
Xie Xuan knew that Zhu Houzhao was talking about the Bodhi Seed, so he nodded gratefully."Thank you, Your Majesty. There's no need for that at the moment."
"Right, I summoned you here mainly because that idiot Cao Zhengchun wanted Xu Yeyue to enter the palace and offended the Ghost King. I plan to let you make a trip. On one hand, it's to visit the Ghost King on behalf of me, and on the other hand, it's to make amends.”
As he spoke, he took out a few martial arts manuals that he had just gotten someone to copy.
"Your Majesty, what is the need?"
"This is sincerity. In the face of a Heaven Tier elite, we still have to show the respect that we should have.”
Xie Xuan nodded and didn't insist.
Even though he was humiliated, Zhu Houzhao wasn't humiliated. He was only willing to send someone over to apologize. What could Xie Xuan say?
Moreover, letting him go over, wasn't that displaying his own strength?
The difference between Heaven Tier elites was huge, but being both Heaven Tier elites meant that they had the qualifications to speak on equal terms.
"I understand. I'll make a trip to the Ghost King Palace now.”
"There's no need to be anxious. How's the 100,000-strong army doing?”
"Thanks to Your Majesty's Tower of Trials, the effect is very good." Xie Xuan smiled. The 100,000-strong army had also begun to practice martial arts. It could be foreseen that in the next few years, they would become an invincible army.”
"Yes, is it enough in terms of martial arts? Many of those soldiers are illiterate. Do you need me to find a batch of basic martial arts?”
Xie Xuan shook his head." There's no need to do that. I remember some basic martial arts. There are also rewards in the Tower of Trials." Now was also the time to lay the foundation, so there was no need to be anxious.”
Zhu Houzhao nodded. He had the same thoughts as him.
"Increase the training. In a few years, zhen plans to scatter the soldiers of Black Turtle Camp to the important towns on the nine borders.”
Xie Xuan agreed." That should be the case. Black Tortoise Camp is loyal to Your Majesty, but the important towns on the nine borders cannot guarantee the loyalty of the soldiers. It is indeed necessary to use Black Tortoise Camp to lead the troops.”
"Yes, unfortunately, the current strength of the Black Turtle Camp soldiers is still insufficient. If they were to be replenished, they would very likely become cannon fodder.”
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will strengthen my training.”
"Remember not to spoil things by pulling up seedlings. There's still plenty of time.”
In any case, he did not plan to do anything in the past few years. He just wanted to be safe and sound.
There were Yu Qian, Yang Yuxuan, Zhang Juzheng, Zhao Shenyan, and others in the court. Qi Jiguang was also a high-ranking military officer. Li Dingguo and Lu Xiangsheng had also been found by him, but they had not been moved for the time being.
When these talents gathered together, there was no need to care about the rest. He would just leave it to them to play.
"I thank Your Majesty on behalf of the soldiers.”
"Alright, there's no need for formalities."
"This subordinate is sincere."
After chatting with Xie Xuan, Zhu Houzhao took out a secret manual and gave it to him.
This was the [Sword of Great Light], created by Xu Yourong after comprehending the Halving Blade Art and combining it with what she had learned in the past.
After being modified by the system into a martial art, its power was comparable to that of a Heaven Grade Divine Technique. It might even be stronger than the Ming Divine Martial Code.
Xie Xuan listened to his explanation and even handed it back to him, asking him to pass it to him after he passed the Tower of Trials.
His actions made Zhu Houzhao even more satisfied.
This was a cautious person. That was true. He was not sure what would happen when he went to the Ghost King Palace this time. He should not have brought such a precious divine technique with him.
If it was just Zhu Houzhao, then it didn't matter.
But this was Xu Yourong's, so if she took it out, she couldn't possibly leak it, right?
Not long after, Xie Xuan took a few secret manuals and a Mortal Restoration Pill in a jade bottle and left.
Zhu Houzhao sighed and began to read the martial arts manuals he had obtained from the library.
Xu Yourong's Sword of Great Light and the Halving Blade Technique, Lu Xueqi's Divine Sword Lightning-Controlling True Art and Taiji Mystic Pure Dao, Lotus's Tianyong Pure Qi Art, Magic Sword Demon-Subduing Art, Chaos Sword Art, Water and Wood Spells, as well as Feng Qingxue's sickle technique, Water Spells, and Youdu Spirit Drawing Art, he all looked over.
This greatly increased his foundation, but he never planned to learn it.
It wasn't that he didn't like them, but he hoped that the four of them would have their own specialties.
As for himself, there was no need for that. He just needed to focus on learning martial arts.
There was also the Yellow Emperor Scripture, which was his foundation.
With the help of the Bodhi Seed, Zhu Houzhao gained a deeper understanding of martial arts and spells.
Most of them were heaven-grade divine techniques, and a few of them might even surpass heaven-grade. It was a huge opportunity to be able to comprehend any one of them, let alone all of them.
It was just that the girls didn't know much and only specialized in a few of them. Otherwise, Zhu Houzhao's foundation would only be deeper.
In the Tower of Trials, amidst the raging flames, a claw shadow pierced through the throat of the opponent at the peak of the Connate Realm. Zhu Houzhao, who was covered in blood, heaved a sigh of relief.
The Nine Yin Divine Claws were extraordinarily powerful, especially with Zhuang Qingshuang around. It would be difficult to not master the claw technique.
However, the reason why he could fight against someone of a higher realm despite being in the late stage of the Connate realm was because he had a physique that was comparable to a Connate realm martial artist.
Otherwise, if the theoretical foundation of martial arts behind him could not be transformed into strength, it would be very difficult for him to fight above his level.
In the end, it was because the time he had cultivated was too short. He had only transmigrated for a few days.
"Tower genie, retrieve the reward."
As soon as he finished speaking, a jade bucket the size of a bucket landed in front of him.
The jade bucket was green in color, and under the light, it emitted a dazzling green light.
As the message arrived, he immediately determined that the jade bucket was filled with extremely precious 10,000-year Stalactite.
