I inherited my husband's divine position

Chapter 930 Sharpening the Knife with the Throne
"The spiritual energy of Yang Spirit Masters is suitable for the Yunmo Continent and is the best choice to nourish and awaken the spiritual veins of the Yunmo Continent."

"With the throne and the migration of elites, the overall combat strength of the Yang lineage in Lingzhou has been greatly reduced, achieving a balance with the Yin lineage. During the revival of the 'ancestral land,' the two lineages will try their best to maintain peace, which will also be the best time for integration."

"The reason why the mortal continent has become a land devoid of spirits is the result of spirit masters recklessly plundering and cultivating. There are similar signs in the Spirit Continent now. Why do you think Su Yaoguang and the others are so obsessed with the Cloud Ink Continent? It's just a spiritual land that hasn't taken shape yet and needs to be awakened. It's not a necessity for the throne."

"Simply because she foresaw the depletion of Lingzhou in the future."

If Su Yaoguang were present and heard what Mi Bayue said, he would definitely be horrified.

—It's already difficult enough for someone who peers into the heavens to glimpse their secrets, but to have another pair of eyes witness her act of peering into the heavens without her even noticing!?
Shang Zhongsheng was also startled.

He took a few seconds to process the information, not bothering to find out how Mi Bayue knew Su Yaoguang's secret, but only asking about the truth of Lingzhou's depletion.

Mi Bayue said, "It is both true and false. If the Yin and Yang lineages continue to cause trouble and fight in Lingzhou, Lingzhou will fall into the same situation as the mortal continent within a hundred years. Su Yaoguang saw that outcome, but he did not know that the point of fate was changed the moment she saw this fate, which caused a change in her mentality and decision."

The secrets of fate are inherently elusive, yet among humanity there are gifted observers who believe that by glimpsing these secrets, they can control their destiny. In reality, many times, you don't know whether you control the fate you've learned, or whether the fate is manipulating you.

Shang Zhongsheng was not a celestial observer, yet he still found these celestial observers' thoughts troubling. "All things considered, her decision was correct. Lingzhou will not dry up in the future, and the Yang Meridian has successfully turned misfortune into good fortune."

"It's rare for you to be so patient in explaining so much to me." Shang Zhongsheng glanced meaningfully at Mi Bayue, then saw the blue-robed, gentle-looking king smiling faintly at him. His suspicions deepened, and he asked, "Just tell me, what do you need my help with?"

Mi Bayue countered, "With a large number of Yang Spirit Masters migrating out of Lingzhou, wouldn't the Yin Veins have designs on this vast vacant land?"

How could there not be?

The spirit mediums would swarm and tear at the carcass like hyenas and vultures seeing rotting flesh.

Shang Zhongsheng's first thought was that Mi Bayue was using this to scheme against the Yang Meridian, allowing the Yin Meridian to seize Lingzhou. However, this thought was immediately dismissed. Upon careful consideration of Mi Bayue's actions, he realized that she had never been advocating for one side to aggressively invade the other, but rather maintaining a balance between the two.

So what does Mi Bayue want him to do?
Shang Zhongsheng said, "You want me to control the Yin meridians during this period."

Mi Bayue nodded.

Once Shang Zhongsheng understood one point, his subsequent thinking became much smoother. He continued, "While the pure, non-toxic environment of the Yunmo Continent after its revival is invaluable, it requires time to accumulate. Even if the Yin Meridians were to be distributed in the same number as the Yang Meridians and migrate here like them, it would be a net loss. Although the environment of Lingzhou is harsh, it is more suitable for the cultivation methods of the Yin Meridians."

Mi Bayue said, "During the period when the Yang Meridians are feeding back into the Yunmo Continent, the overall strength will stagnate for a period of time. Whether the Yin Meridians can catch up during this period depends on your abilities."

Shang Zhongsheng smiled confidently, about to speak.

Mi Bayue changed the subject, "Don't rush to make any pronouncements. The Yang Meridians will enter a period of stagnation, but this is also a kind of investment that will eventually yield results. After the stagnation ends, the spiritual lands that have been nurtured and revived by them will resonate with them. The effect of tempering the mind and body during this period will also be evident, thus achieving a simultaneous sublimation of people and land, and will continue to flourish in the future."

Shang Zhongsheng's smile froze on his face.

Mi Bayue smiled faintly: "As the throne of the Yin lineage, whether you allow the Yin lineage to continue its rampage in Lingzhou, further deepening the enmity with the Yang lineage and increasing its strength through killing and plundering, or whether you reorganize the Yin lineage's atmosphere and laws, and maximize the use of resources in this open phase, is entirely up to you."

"Don't act like none of this has anything to do with you." Shang Zhongsheng wanted to drag Mi Bayue into the mess.

Mi Bayue released the spiritual energy of the Sun Throne with slight surprise.

Shang Zhongsheng: "..."

He couldn't quite figure out Qingmi Bayue's thoughts for the time being.

"I am not the only one who holds the throne of the Yin Meridian."

"Of course, you can talk to Mr. Du."

Shang Zhongsheng finally sighed.

It was satisfying to make Xing Qian vomit blood not long ago, but that still doesn't change the fact that, after excluding the neutral Eternal Dreamland, the Yin meridian is weaker than the Yang meridian.

Mi Bayue seemed to sense Shang Zhongsheng's distress—or more accurately, Shang Zhongsheng was deliberately putting on an act for Mi Bayue to see, and Mi Bayue, as he wished, did not deliberately ignore it.

"Humanity's fortune is growing, and the boundaries of the throne are expanding. Given the aura of Yin veins, a new king will soon appear." A glint flashed in Shang Zhongsheng's eyes as he asked, "Who is it?"

Mi Bayue said, "Jiang Shou is a potential king."

Back then, the Lord of Wuchang Palace took a half-step onto the throne. Jiang Shou and Qi Gui had worked together for so many years and had many opportunities to experience the power of the king and the gods. It was a typical case that the path had already been paved, but people's strength was not up to par, and they had not yet reached the end.

Shang Zhongsheng also knew this, and nodded in agreement with Mi Bayue's words.

He thought that was the only one, but Mi Bayue continued, "Leaving aside the others for now, there is also Queen Cheng, who is comparable to two people."

Shang Zhongsheng made guesses about the list of Heavenly Venerables, but none of them were 100% certain.

He asked Mi Bayue again, but this time Mi Bayue didn't answer.

After they parted ways, Shang Zhongsheng went directly to find Du Shiru, just in case he suddenly disappeared and it would be difficult to find him again.

After recounting his conversation with Mi Bayue to Du Shiru, Du Shiru didn't try to guess who the next Yin Yue throne chosen by Mi Bayue would be, but he did say, "The one who attains the Dao Fruit."

Shang Zhongsheng was startled. "I knew I'd forgotten something! Oh, I see!"

Mi Bayue possesses the Dao-proving Fruit, but since she has already ascended to the throne, the Dao-proving Fruit is of little use to her. It would be far better to give it to other geniuses than to keep it.

After being reminded by Du Shiru, Shang Zhongsheng understood that the other throne that Mi Bayue mentioned would be the source of enlightenment in the future.

"Sister Mi".

Pei Rongrong opened her eyes wide, somewhat flattered.

She held in her hands the fruit of enlightenment that Mi Bayue had just given her.

"Whether it's Sister Wei or Sister Ji, they're all better than me..."

Pei Rongrong gradually lost the ability to continue speaking under Mi Bayue's smiling gaze.

It's not up to her to decide who is more suitable to attain enlightenment. Since Mi Bayue gave it to her, it means she has her own decision in mind.

Pei Rongrong pursed her lips, her expression gradually hardening, and said, "I won't let Sister Mi down!"

Mi Bayue couldn't help but touch the top of the girl's head. "Mmm."

The young master of Linghuazhai, who was already in charge of the sect, was like an ordinary, cute, and obedient little sister in front of Mi Bayue.

Mi Bayue said gently, "You still go to the priest's every year?"

Pei Rongrong paused, a hint of sadness beyond her years flashing in her eyes.

Mi Bayue said, "Xing Chi is Xing Qian's spiritual offspring. However, a spiritual offspring is not a child born from the union of parents as people think, but a human spirit that is nurtured over many years by the essence of the throne's soul after the spirit seed has borne fruit."

Pei Rongrong was slightly stunned by the truth.

Therefore, those throne heirs such as Xing Chi, Jin Zeliang, and Lu Yin can be considered either the bloodline of the throne or their clones, depending on how they themselves perceive it.

The fact that Zuo Si died at Xing Chi's hands because of her remains a deep-seated obsession in Pei Rongrong's heart.

Given Mi Bayue's current strength, if she were to kill Xing Qian for all his past actions, Su Yaoguang and the others would be powerless to stop her.

Neither she nor Mi Feixue made a move or mentioned the matter after the Dao Confession Conference, leading others to believe that they were acting in the best interests of the world and were magnanimous.

In reality, this opportunity was simply given to all the Night Wanderers who harbored their own obsessions.
