Fish swimming around the world

In comparison, Taihua is much inferior, and the essence of this is that Taihua lacks the power of the temple. As the saying goes, the people should not fight against the officials. Taihua's main power is in the rivers and lakes, in the large and small sects and independent cultivators. Although the network of relationships is also huge, it is far behind Taiyue, and it is too loose. This is why Jiazi is eager to come out to integrate the power.

Of course, this does not mean that Taihua is not good. On the contrary, except for Taiyue, Taihua can be called the largest power group, and its money and manpower are naturally not comparable to ordinary vassal states. Only when facing the five hegemons with centralized military and political power, Taihua seems slightly inferior.

And Feng Chen's last and most important news exchanged with Jiang Fan is this time Changsheng's coronation.

Speaking of this, I have to mention the origin of Changsheng first.

Changsheng, whose real name is Beigong Yin, is known to everyone as a direct disciple of the elder, but strangely, he did not practice the Wanxiang Zhenjing, but instead practiced the so-called family heirloom, Jiangshan Finger.

And where did this family heirloom come from? The elder of the previous generation, the grandfather of Changsheng.

Therefore, this person can be said to be of good origin. If he was not too young at that time, his cultivation was insufficient, and his reputation was lacking, the elder of the clan would not have been selected by another family.

I have to mention here that this reason alone was not enough to prevent the elder of the previous generation, who was determined to change Taiyue, from passing on the seal to Beigong in the end.

The reasons are very complicated. Simply put, there are three points. First, the fat elder has the highest reputation and the strongest cultivation in Taiyue and even in the temple of the world. Second, at that time, the character of the elder was undoubtedly revealed. The elder of the previous generation thought that he was so radical that he should be able to inherit his ambitions, but unfortunately he found out that he had made a mistake later. Of course, there is also a third point, which is the most important point. There are people who are against the will of heaven secretly supporting the elder.

In the early days, Changsheng was very steady, not hurried or slow, and took one step at a time. He had the demeanor of a Taoist master who was out of this world, and his cultivation was one of the best. The elders also praised him very much. In addition, because of his background in Beigong, it was no surprise that he was also listed as a backup candidate. Later, he was accepted as a disciple and promoted to the head of the five elders.

It was not until 120 years ago that the elders realized that something was wrong, but it was too late. It turned out that the elders of the previous generation had paved most of the way for Changsheng, and in recent years, because he was obsessed with martial arts and didn't ask much about the trivial matters of the holy land, Changsheng had completely sidelined himself. The worst thing was that he trusted this apprentice too much, and even the secret key of the artifact was cheated away by him in advance.

Although the elders did not teach him how to use the artifact, Changsheng had already learned it from his grandfather, and everything was ready. Changsheng decisively used the absolute advantage in numbers to force the elders to abdicate, and to be on the safe side, he also held a ceremony to offer sacrifices to the sky to attract the gods to descend to the world.

The elder lost all his bargaining chips overnight. But he knew that he couldn't abdicate. He had no choice but to stage a golden cicada escape, so that Changsheng couldn't figure out whether he was dead or not, so that he didn't dare to act rashly for a long time.

Now, Changsheng is finally going to be crowned the Supreme, with almost no surprises, and almost no one can stop it. The only possibility is that the rebels gather their forces to go to war with Taiyue, but this kind of thing will almost never happen without extreme special circumstances.

Apart from anything else, once the rebels and Taiyue go to war, first of all, they will be exposed, and the whole world will be in complete chaos, losing the ability to fight against the outside world. The gods will be absolutely delighted. As long as they intervene in the chaos, the fourth holy war will be almost at hand.

At the same time as Changsheng is crowned, he will also confer new titles on the five elders and ten great worshippers.

According to Feng Chen's information, in addition to the original Lao Mu, Can Xin, and You Si, two more acting elders have been added. It was particularly surprising that Cao Mang of the Northern Wei Dynasty, who was the two who Gu Qingshan analyzed and thought might enter Taihua, was actually among them, and the other one was Yan Congwen, who proclaimed himself as the Duke of Yansheng.

However, these two should be the next generation of the Five Elders, so the titles have not been determined yet. They are temporarily named Acting Elders, and the order will be determined after the next generation officially takes over.

As for the ten great priests, the Great Priest had died long ago, the Second Priest died in the imperial court coup, the Third Priest returned to Jin, and the Ninth Priest went to Xin Taihua, which means that four people are missing.

However, the substitutes are not acting priests, but the former are promoted to the front and the latter are placed in the back. For example, the fourth priest is the largest at present, and he has been promoted to the front to become the Great Priest, and Yin Yangzi has become the fourth priest.

However, two of the new priests were promoted from Taiyue according to seniority, namely Changsheng's direct disciple and a person with a very high seniority in Taiyue. The last two were selected from the outside world.

The ninth place is surprising, Feng Qianqiu of Chen State. I didn't expect that Feng Chen's grandfather would become a Taiyue worshiper.

The last place is also surprising. This new ten worshipers is also famous, Xiang Bo, the great uncle of King Xiang Chen of Chu.

This is very interesting. One of the elders is Cao Mang, the uncle of the King of Wei, and the second of the ten great worshipers is Feng Qianqiu, the uncle of the King of Chu and the emperor of Chen State.

What is more worthy of reflection is that since then, except for Qin and Dian, other countries have people in the high level of Taiyue.

Changsheng's intentions are extraordinary, and Jiang Fan sighed at this.

Maybe the only unstable factor is Feng Qianqiu, but Jiang Fan has no doubt that as long as the situation changes, the Feng family will stand with Taiyue without hesitation.

In response, Feng Chen did not refute at all, and even told Jiang Fan openly that we are not friends, so if you want to continue to cooperate with me, you have to come up with more useful things.

Jiang Fan couldn't help but snort coldly, this is forcing himself to do more things that are beneficial to the Feng family.

Of course, it was impossible for Feng Chen to tell what behind-the-scenes conditions the Feng family had reached with Chang Sheng. He only told Jiang Fan that for now, he approved of the empress and Jiang Fan's plan and would not change it in the short term.

"Fengchen's words are hard to believe."

Gu Qingshan put one leg on the table and said while drinking wine.

That's right, Gu Qingshan is here too. Of course, it couldn't be the invitation sent by Tai Yue, who followed Ling Yun. It’s particularly interesting that Taiyue actually invited Ling Yun alone.

Jiang Fan smiled: "It's all a game. Who believes who? It all depends on your brains and means. By the way..."

He frowned and looked at Gu Qingshan: "You shouldn't have come. You are different from me. Wu Meng and Taiyue will directly mark you as a traitor. Once they notice, they may kill you on the spot."

Gu Qingshan smiled: "It's not that easy. I'm not here as a member of Xintaihua, but..."

The corner of his mouth curled up: "The successor of Emperor Wen."

Jiang Fan was stunned: "Oh? This is a good name, but do the two holy places recognize it?"

Gu Qingshan smiled and said: "This is not up to them. Everyone knows my origin, and everyone in the Canglan River is watching. I have the inheritance of Wenhuang Martial Arts."

Jiang Fan nodded: "That's true, but it won't be easy if they insist on denying it."
