Great Xuanwu Sheng

"What do you think of this successor, Lord Zhao?"

The crowd only briefly discussed the Qiankun Ding and Qiankun Wuyuan Formation, and soon returned to the main topic. Someone looked at Zhao Lie, the chief of the Supervisory Department, and whispered to him.

Zhao Lie stared at the direction of the White Jade Square, taking in the figures of the eight kings including the King of Jin and the King of Chu. Then he shook his head slightly and said, "The affairs of the royal family are decided by the royal family. We should not interfere. We should just do our duty as ministers."

Due to the fact that the world of Daxuan was a world where martial arts was respected, the inheritance of the successor of the Xuan Emperors in succession was never the eldest son, but the most virtuous one among all the qualified sons of the emperor was chosen to inherit. Of course, the final decision was still made by the Xuan Emperor himself.

However, in this generation, first of all, Emperor Xuan Ji Yongzhao himself disappeared. The successor should have been decided by Emperor Xuan, but now there is no one who can make decisions. Secondly, it is difficult to distinguish the virtuous among the eight kings.

In terms of martial arts, the eight kings are all martial arts masters, but none of them has entered the realm of blood exchange, and all eight of them are qualified to challenge the barrier of life and death. Even if there is a certain degree of difference in strength, the weakest one is also a top master, and the difference is really not big.

In terms of power, the King of Jin is the well-deserved first, but the King of Chu is not too bad. The King of Han and the King of Liang now have the momentum of unity, and they can also fight against the King of Jin. The other kings have their own arrangements.

"After all, the selection of a new king is the internal affairs of the royal family. Let's wait and see the result."

Shangguan Nan spoke calmly.

After hearing this, the others looked at each other and stood with their hands folded, and no more words were said.

In the current situation, they are indeed not suitable to speak. Their power as a courtier is very important in the court of Daxuan. When they are united, even Emperor Xuan Ji Yongzhao has to estimate three points. They have never intervened in the disputes between the eight kings from the beginning, and now it is a critical period, so it is naturally even more inappropriate to intervene.

But if we really want to talk about their inner thoughts, everyone has their own ideas, and most of them are led by "Prince Jin". The reason is very simple, that is, Prince Jin has the most powerful power!

It's not that they are afraid of Prince Jin.

At their current level, martial arts is at the pinnacle of body tempering, and they have reached the state of blood exchange. They are powerful and powerful. They either control the most important court portals or are generals who command an army. They have the qualifications to enter the court without bowing and praise without being named. Not to mention that Prince Jin is still the Eighth Prince. Even if he really succeeds to the throne, they will not succumb to the imperial power.

The reason why more people are interested in Prince Jin is because from the perspective of the court structure, Prince Jin's succession will have the least turmoil!

As long as Qiankun Ding recognized King Jin as the successor, King Jin would immediately get the support of the entire royal family, the Ji family. In addition to the power they already had, these important court officials would not object. As a result, the other seven kings would no longer have the power to fight against King Jin, and the court structure would be able to stabilize in the shortest time.

They never cared about who among the eight kings would succeed to the throne, but only cared about how to reduce the turmoil in the court to a greater extent. Now that the world is in chaos, it is really not appropriate to continue fighting and make it fall apart.

Under the attention of many important officials such as Shangguan Nan.

King Jin, King Chu and other eight kings also walked along the white jade square until they arrived in front of the huge Qiankun Ding, and looked up at the gray-clothed figures sitting around the Qiankun Ding.

"Xuan Chu greets all uncles."

King Jin was calm and took the lead in bowing to the group of gray-clothed people.

The Qiankun Ding is the Ding of the Heavenly Family, and is also the most important heritage of the royal family. Those who are qualified to guard the Qiankun Ding are basically the most senior figures of the Ji Family. They have a high status, but they are only responsible for guarding the Ding and the imperial court, and will not interfere in the political affairs of the court.

The most basic requirement for guarding the Qiankun Ding is to have the blood of the Heavenly Family, and to be of the Ji family. Whether it is a collateral line or a direct line is irrelevant, because the second requirement is that the body tempering martial arts must be practiced to the blood exchange realm!

Once you enter the blood exchange realm and have the blood of the Heavenly Family, your status in the imperial court will immediately be extremely respected. Not only can the bloodline you belong to get the hereditary position of the king, but you can also choose to enter the imperial court, guard the Qiankun Ding or take charge of other key royal heritage. Even the contemporary Emperor Xuan will respect you.

Almost at the same time as the King of Jin bowed.

The other seven kings, including the King of Chu, the King of Han, and the King of Liang, also bowed.

Now, none of them have entered the blood exchange realm. If they ascended to the throne, they could treat these Ji family elders equally, but now, with the status of the Eighth King, they dare not neglect them.

"Here we are."

Among the many gray-clothed figures, several were still sitting around the Qiankun Cauldron to meditate, not caring about the arrival of King Jin and others. Some people cast their eyes on King Jin and others, and looked at them. Among them, the one on the easternmost side stood up and spoke lightly.

"Uncle King of Dongping."

King Jin responded to the gray-clothed figure politely.

King of Dongping Ji Yongheng.

He belongs to the same generation as Emperor Xuan Ji Yongzhao, but is not a direct descendant. He is a side branch of the Ji family. By Ji Yongheng's generation, he is no longer among the princes and dukes. His father's generation was only a viscount. However, Ji Yongheng is extremely talented. He made rapid progress in martial arts and finally reached the level of blood exchange, regaining the title of prince. Later, he even entered the imperial court to guard and comprehend the mysteries of the Qiankun Ding.

"According to the rules, we should not interfere in the political affairs of the court, but the emperor brother once entrusted me with something. If he suddenly disappears one day, and there is no news after half a year, and there are still endless disputes between you and others, It will be up to me to make the decision, using the spirit of the Qiankun Cauldron to choose one of you as the new king."

Ji Yongheng glanced at King Jin and others, and while speaking slowly, he shook his head slightly in his heart.

He was a little younger than Ji Yongzhao, but even though he was of the same generation as Ji Yongzhao and both were born in the direct line of the royal family, he was not qualified to compete with Ji Yongzhao for the throne. After he reached the blood-changing realm in martial arts, he had sparred with Ji Yongzhao several times, but failed.

Compared with Ji Yongzhao, the eight princes, King Jin and King Chu, are far behind. At the age of King Jin, Ji Yongzhao has already entered the realm of blood transfusion, instead of staying in the marrow cleansing realm and not daring to attack the blood transfusion. life and death.

As long as one of the current eight kings enters the blood exchange, there is no need for the Qiankun Ding to choose a new king. The one who enters the blood exchange will have an absolute advantage, and they, the elders of the Ji family, will support them, and the throne will be There is no suspense.

As for Ji Yongzhao...

Although the matter of this imperial brother was hidden from him, he still knew more or less the inside story.

"We still didn't succeed after all."

Ji Yongheng sighed secretly in his heart. After all, that kind of method was an act against heaven, and failure was not surprising. Even if he entered the realm of blood exchange, he would still be a mortal, unable to escape the constraints of heaven and earth, and his hopes for immortality were still illusory.

Of course, Ji Yongheng would not say this. After all, he didn't know much. Many of the situations were his guesses. He didn't even know when Ji Yongzhao disappeared from the palace. He has been missing for more than half a year now. Perhaps his attempt to live forever failed and he died.

now.

Ji Yongzhao's life and death are unknown, and his whereabouts are unknown. No matter how useless the descendants of Jin Wang are, they can only choose one person.

Seeing that King Jin, King Chu and others all looked solemn, Ji Yongheng finally said slowly: "Okay, you and the other eight people can guide the inner breath and connect the Qiankun Cauldron to see who can get the spiritual recognition of this cauldron in the end."

The words fell.

The King of Jin, the King of Chu, the King of Han and others present looked at each other with different expressions.

Among them, King Jin has the most calm demeanor. As the eldest among the eight kings, although he has never entered the realm of blood exchange, when it comes to martial arts cultivation and strength, he considers himself to be one point better than the other seven princes. Under Chen Mu Before he was born, he had been ranked first in the Daxuan Master List for many years.

When it comes to bloodline, his purity is also the most unquestionable.

When it comes to power, he has the largest number of supporters. Even among the elders of the Ji family who guard the Qiankun Cauldron, some are more inclined to him. It can be said that he has an advantage in all aspects and is in an invincible position.

The position of the new king of Daxuan must belong to him, and it is impossible for Qiankun Ding to choose anyone else.

As long as the Qiankun Ding is recognized, the other seven royal brothers will no longer have the possibility to compete with him. Even if they unite, they will have no chance, because the people's will, the public's expectations, and the general trend are those who support the King of Chu and the King of Han. After seeing that something cannot be done, they will most likely retreat and stop resisting.

Even if there are those who are unwilling to give up, he is sure to calmly divide them one by one and settle them one by one using various means.

In comparison.

King Chu's eyes were very deep. His thoughts were different from those of King Jin. If he could get the support of Qiankun Ding, it would naturally be the best result. By then, the offensive and defensive forces would be different, and King Jin would be hard-pressed to stop him from ascending. Bit.

But if he does not get the support of the Qiankun Ding, he must not let King Jin get it, because if the others get it, he still has a chance to compete. Only King Jin will have no chance if he gets the support of the Qiankun Ding. .

As for King Han, King Liang and others who were ranked further down, they naturally wanted to go all out and do their best to get the recognition of Qiankun Ding. They did not have an advantage to begin with, and now because of Chen Mu's matter, they The foundation has been shaken. Whether it can be recognized by the Qiankun Ding is almost the only possibility to reverse the situation at the moment!

"Come."

Dongping Wang Ji Yongheng took a step forward and waved his right hand gently. The Qiankun Cauldron standing on the sapphire platform immediately showed a wisp of ripples, and a layer of light of the Eight Phases of the Universe instantly appeared on the surface.

It was almost at this moment.

King Jin and others all had sharp eyes, and they all took a step forward. They each reached out with their hands, mobilized their own inner Qi machines, and exerted eight different Qi energies, presenting eight different shapes in the void. A colored beam of light falls on the surface of the Qiankun Cauldron!

Among them, the King of Jin wielded a beam of yin and yang light that merged with black and white, while the King of Chu wielded a stream of flowing Qi of the Five Elements. The other kings also exerted various different Qi energies, all showing their mastery. top-notch means.

Buzz! !

The Qiankun aura on the surface of the Qiankun Cauldron immediately began to ripple and flow after it came into contact with the auras of the kings, turning into waves of ripples that were turbulent, as if the spirituality in it was thinking about how to make a decision.

At this time, the other elders of the Ji family who were guarding the Qiankun Cauldron also opened their eyes one after another. Some stood up, and some were still sitting cross-legged on one side, each looking at the kings such as King Jin and King Chu.

in.

Dongping Wang Ji Yongheng glanced at the eight qi energies in the void. After careful observation, he finally turned his gaze to Jin Wang on the far left, with some ripples in his eyes.

Although the eight princes of this generation were far inferior to their father, Ji Yongzhao, in his opinion, the tallest among the short ones was indeed the one who practiced the Yin-Yang Dao most outstandingly, and he also had the most experience. If the Prince of Jin was chosen, the situation in the court would be the least turbulent and could be settled in the shortest time.

I think Qiankun Ding would make the same choice.

However.

Just as Ji Yongheng was thinking about this, he saw that among the eight princes, the least noticeable Prince of Han, Ji Xuanfei, suddenly flashed a faint light in his eyes, and a trace of abnormal waves appeared in the internal energy he exerted.

Originally, the spiritual light of Qiankun Ding, which was constantly flickering and floating, seemed to be about to stop on the energy of Prince of Jin, but at this moment, it suddenly flickered violently, suddenly rising and changing, and then suddenly merged into the spiritual light of Prince of Han, Ji Xuanfei!

Buzz! !

In an instant, the aura of King Han suddenly surged. At this time, he no longer needed to use his inner breath to attract the spiritual light of the Qiankun Ding. Instead, the spiritual light of the Qiankun Ding surged out and covered him in it!

"This is impossible!"

King Jin's face suddenly changed.

"What's going on?"

King Zhao's face also changed.

"What did you do?!"

King Yan looked at King Han and asked with a sharp gaze.

In the distance.

The many blood exchange masters from various forces who were originally watching the situation quietly also changed their faces at this time.

Previously, it was obvious that the spiritual light of the Qiankun Ding hovered longer and more hesitantly around King Chu and King Jin, as if it was going to choose one between King Chu and King Jin, but why did it suddenly change and fall on King Han? !

"What's going on?"

"Why is it King Han."

"Among the eight kings, he is the least outstanding, why did the Qiankun Ding choose him?"

Many blood exchange masters frowned and looked a little ugly.

There was only one person, the master of Xuanji Pavilion who came with King Han. He had a sickly look, but now his eyes suddenly glowed. Sure enough, the divination of Xuanji Mirror was the real secret of heaven. They were not wrong to choose King Han!

At this moment, only King Han himself knew what happened. This was his fate. He had obtained a secret method from the Great Wilderness by chance. It did not belong to Daxuan. Its effect was to interfere with the spiritual soldiers with "spirituality" to a certain extent.

Originally, this secret method did not have much effect, because there were too few spiritual soldiers in the world. Looking at the world, there were no more than two hands. And those who could control these spiritual soldiers were also the top masters of the world. Even many spiritual soldiers were originally in the hands of the royal family. But he did not expect that this secret method he got by chance would have a huge effect on the spiritual light of the Qiankun Ding!

Before this, no one had thought that Emperor Xuan Ji Yongzhao would disappear out of thin air, which prevented him from personally appointing a successor. Instead, it had to be decided by the Qiankun Ding guarded by Ji Yongheng and many other old members of the Ji family!

"Ahem, ahem...as expected, as expected, this is the will of heaven, this is the will of heaven..."

The head of Xuanji Pavilion coughed twice, and a trace of unnatural blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, but he was unaware of it, and only muttered to himself with shining eyes.
