Sheng Fu

Guangli said, "Following the tradition of the demon race, a grand ceremony should be held on the night of the full moon."

"Today is the twelfth, there are three days left."

Yuwen Jun released a slight dragon aura, and a moment later, Guangli gracefully arrived from afar, riding the wind.

"Without delay, let's take Xiaoli and head to the Demon Realm for geomancy immediately."

Dugu Li glanced at Yuwen Jun, then at the Queen of the Demon Realm, momentarily unsure of what had happened.

"The Demon Realm needs to rebuild its mountains and rivers and suppress its fortune. You will help Her Majesty the Queen to carefully survey the land for two days. On the night of the full moon, we must take action. This matter must not be leaked," Yuwen Jun said gently to Dugu Li.

Dugu Li then realized what was going on and nodded in acknowledgment, saying, "Yes."

However, Dugu Li also had some doubts. Forcibly repairing the mountains and rivers with the power of a monarch would consume a huge amount of resources.

At this critical juncture, we shouldn't be doing this.

Dugu Li asked cautiously, "Young Master, are you not planning to come with us?"

At the same time, Dugu Li also felt that she always felt a little uncomfortable when she was alone with Her Majesty the Queen.

Moreover, Dugu Li was perceptive. When she was with Jing Peiyao in Haomiao City, although she didn't know why, she could sense, both openly and secretly, that Jing Peiyao seemed to have some unspeakable prejudice against this Queen of the Demon Realm.

Could it be that the women are jealous of each other?
After Jing Peiyao cultivated the Purple Star True Essence, a demon queen rose to power and stole Jing Peiyao's limelight. Jing Peiyao was resentful.
But Dugu Li felt that Jing Peiyao was not that kind of person.

In short, there are some things that Dugu Li cannot ask about and can only speculate based on her feelings.

Yuwen Jun pondered, "I have other matters to attend to and must travel to the Spirit Clan. Her Majesty the Queen will inform you of the specifics of what will happen in the Demon Realm."

Dugu Li's expression hardened, and she bowed slightly, saying, "Understood."

Then, the Demon Queen placed her delicate hand on Dugu Li's shoulder, and in an instant, the two peerless beauties disappeared from Yuwen Jun's sight.

Yuwen Jun looked up towards the distant south, then took a step and disappeared without a trace.

……

The Linggong Palace was peaceful and serene, with a faint auspicious aura rising from it.

Some rumors don't need to be concealed; the news of Bei Hanyong's birth spread throughout the Spirit Clan.

If Gu Yong's child with the Eldest Princess were to follow the patriarchal system, it would not be considered part of the direct line of the Ling clan, but rather belong to a collateral branch.

There was nothing that could be done; this child was destined to cultivate the "Ancient Chaos Scripture," and His Majesty the Spirit Emperor would impart the Myriad Spirit True Essence to this child without reservation.

The current Emperor Ling is in his prime and will live to a ripe old age.

Now that another grandson has come into view, the high-ranking officials and nobles of the Spirit Clan are well aware of what this means.

Moreover, the human race simply wrote a biography for Gu Yong, praising his achievements for all time.

However, the Ling Clan directly included Gu Yong in their annals.

Only emperors are allowed to be included in this annals.

In terms of historical status, Gu Yong's historical status among the Spirit Clan has surpassed his historical status among the Human Clan. In comparison, that Human Emperor seems to have lost much of his grace.

Of course, Emperor Ling did this for two reasons. First, Gu Yong's achievements were indeed unprecedented. Second, it was also to clearly tell the world that Bei Han Yong was the eldest grandson and the future Emperor Ling.

Occasionally, tradition is broken due to some special cases.

There will always be some staunch old men who, in order to uphold tradition, will not hesitate to smash their heads against the main hall until they bleed.

However, this time, breaking with tradition did not cause any stir.

The value of Bei Han Yong is undeniable.

Although he is not of pure Spirit Clan blood, in this era of great strife, with the future outcome uncertain, the Spirit Clan's welcome of such a peerless prodigy is undoubtedly beneficial to their fortune. Inside the Imperial Study, His Majesty the Spirit Emperor was still reviewing memorials.

Unlike the human race, the internal affairs of the spirit race have always been stable. However, something has happened that has caused Emperor Ling some difficulty.

Within the Spirit Clan, not every talented individual possesses a pair of azure eyes.

Within the martial arts sects, some talented individuals with light-colored eyes have emerged, and even the military has seen a number of outstanding individuals appear.

The Eldar have maintained internal stability because they have always firmly believed in the power of bloodlines.

In earlier years, there were some promising talents who were of lowly birth but exceptionally gifted. Some of them either drifted along with the tide and were left to fend for themselves, while others became retainers of powerful and wealthy families.

But nowadays, there are more and more people like this, who yearn for a higher status and greater power within the Spirit Clan.

In particular, the new policies implemented by Yuwen Jun, which advocated equality for all, have had a certain impact on the internal affairs of the Spirit Clan, although the reaction has not been as severe as that within the human realm.

However, most of the Eldar still firmly believe in the concept of bloodline.

For those born into humble circumstances, Emperor Ling's policy was simple: reward them according to their merits.

After all, Bei Hanyong is not a pure-blooded Spirit Clan member, yet he can become the future hope of the entire Spirit Clan, let alone those native Spirit Clan members.

However, in this process, it is inevitable that the interests of some old nobles will be touched.

Fortunately, the struggle between the two factions was not too intense, and since it was a matter of rewarding merit, military merit was the primary factor.

As for the civil officials, they still firmly believed in bloodlines.

There's nothing that can be done; such are the traditions and rules. Many brilliant writers can only blame themselves for not having noble enough bloodlines.

In times of great contention, military generals are the primary force, while civil officials play a supporting role.

Therefore, Emperor Ling still has considerable room for maneuver to settle domestic affairs.

As for the frustrations of a few individuals, they could only turn a blind eye. However, Emperor Ling firmly believed in one thing: if someone was truly a peerless talent, even if they came from humble origins, they could still soar to the heavens.

Of course, many people are only of average or mediocre talent; there aren't that many truly exceptional talents. If there were a lot of exceptional talents, Emperor Ling would have been overthrown long ago.

"Perhaps, that child's new policies are indeed worth learning from," Emperor Ling said thoughtfully, putting down his pen.

Suddenly, Emperor Ling felt something.

A commander of the Imperial Guards arrived outside the Imperial Study and whispered, "Your Majesty, Prince Yuwen has arrived at the front hall."

A moment later, a gentle breeze passed by the ear of the Spirit Guard commander, who then bowed deeply and withdrew.

Inside the front hall, Yuwen Jun sat down on a simple and unadorned chair, finding it interesting, as such simple and unpretentious table and chair arrangements were rarely seen within the territory of the Spirit Clan.

The front hall had clearly been renovated, and its layout remained as exquisite as ever, although the objects looked antique, but also more grand.

Yuwen Jun glanced up casually and saw that Emperor Ling had somehow taken up the supreme chair.

"You've come to see the children?" Emperor Ling asked jokingly.

Yuwen Jun was slightly taken aback and asked suspiciously, "Is the child in the palace?"

Emperor Ling said with a hint of helplessness, "They are still in the Tianhai Snow Plains. The two sisters do not like the Ling Palace. There are many rules in the palace, but in the Tianhai Snow Plains, they can roam freely."

"In truth, I no longer care about any rules when it comes to the two sisters."

"But they still refused to enter the palace."

"I can only let them neglect me, and I have to bear with it even more." (End of Chapter)
