Chapter 558: Martial Arts Holy Land
Hearing Zhao Feng's words, the three little ones looked delighted.

They all put down what they were doing.

Princess Ankang temporarily put away the wood carving and followed Zhao Feng into the Qianxing Pavilion.

Yu'er also heard the noise outside, put down the book in her hand, and walked over to Mr. Ye.

Several people gathered in front of Mr. Ye's table, waiting for Zhao Feng to explain in detail.

Zhao Feng came in and bowed to Princess Ankang and Mr. Ye before continuing:

"His Majesty has already reviewed the competition records and has decided that the first place for this month is still you, Your Highness."

Hearing the news, the three little ones laughed happily.

Mr. Ye standing by also had a smile in his eyes and was happy for them.

Princess Ankang even defeated the strongest Third Prince in the competition. Indeed, no one’s performance was more outstanding than hers.

The first place in this month's competition is well deserved.

The three little ones have already gotten used to it because they have won so many times.

Princess Ankang immediately asked, "Chief Steward Zhao, Chief Steward Zhao."

"What's the prize this month?"

They all knew that apart from the points that were meaningless to them, there were still generous prizes for the top winner every month.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. The prizes His Majesty has arranged will certainly not be bad."

"I will take you out of the palace to get it tomorrow."

Hearing this, the three little ones were all moved.

They didn't expect that this month's prize was actually placed outside the palace.

But Zhao Feng kept it a secret and didn't say more about what the prize was.

But they will get the prize tomorrow anyway, so there is no need to rush.

"Are you going to leave the palace to receive the award?"

"It just so happens that we have something to do outside the palace, so we can finish everything together tomorrow."

Princess Ankang said with a smile.

"Oh? I wonder if Your Highness has something to do, and if there is anything I can do for you?"

Zhao Feng asked habitually.

"It's not a big deal, so I won't bother you, Manager Zhao."

"But thank you for your kindness."

Princess Ankang said politely.

But she did not hide the matter from Zhao Feng, and told him that they planned to go to the temple to set up a memorial tablet on the anniversary of Concubine Xiao's death.

This is the first anniversary of Concubine Xiao's death, and now that Jingyang Palace has the conditions, it naturally wants to do more for Concubine Xiao.

There wouldn't be only a simple altar in Yu'er's room.

This was something Yu'er did secretly without telling Princess Ankang.

Before Concubine Xiao passed away, she had instructed them that all they needed to do was think of her in their hearts and not to worry about unnecessary things.

Given the situation in Jingyang Palace at the time, people could not even get enough food to eat, so naturally there were no conditions for sacrifices.

The two maids took these words to heart, but after Concubine Xiao passed away, Yu'er couldn't help feeling overwhelmed and helpless as she struggled to support Jingyang Palace alone. She couldn't help but make a simple altar and carved the tablet herself.

Whenever Yu'er encountered a situation that was difficult to hold on to, she would pay homage to Concubine Xiao's spirit tablet and seek spiritual solace.

It’s true, this method helped Yu’er overcome countless difficulties.

Otherwise, how could a little girl survive in the cold palace for so long and take care of Princess Ankang who was always sick?

Before Li Xuan awakened his talent, he could only do very little to help Yu'er.

At that time, it was really Yu'er who held up Jingyang Palace alone.

This is also the reason why Li Xuan regards the two girls as treasures.

As Li Xuan became more and more capable, he was finally able to stop the two girls from suffering and allow them to be more financially comfortable.

You can eat whatever you want and wear whatever you want, and you don’t have to lack food and clothing like before.

Although Li Xuan seemed to be the youngest and the one who needed the most care among the three little ones in Jingyang Palace, he had long claimed to be the head of Jingyang Palace.

Now that I see my two girls no longer have to suffer, I feel naturally very relieved and proud, and I somewhat understand the feelings of being a parent.

But there are still some problems that have to be faced.

The first was the chillness in Princess Ankang's body.

If this problem is not solved, Li Xuan will always feel like there is something stuck in his throat and he will be on edge all the time.

Secondly, I want to continue to cultivate the two girls' abilities so that they can make a living.

Even though Li Xuan cultivated the Yin and Yang Qi and his skills continued to grow stronger, he was always worried about the safety of the two girls.

But this feeling will only be alleviated when Princess Ankang and Yu'er catch up with or surpass him in strength one day.

When a son travels a hundred miles, his mother worries a thousand miles.

When Li Xuan was a child, he thought his parents were annoying and overly worried about every little thing about him.

Now it was his turn to be hit by the boomerang.

When Zhao Feng heard that Princess Ankang was leaving the palace to handle this matter, he felt mixed emotions.

He also didn't expect that the first anniversary of Concubine Xiao's death would come so soon.

"This is a filial act. Has Your Highness chosen a temple?" Zhao Feng asked.

"My myna took me to Ci'en Temple to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival before. I think it's a nice place." Princess Ankang answered honestly.

"Ci'en Temple..."

Hearing the name, Zhao Feng frowned slightly.

"Manager Zhao, is there something wrong?"

Princess Ankang couldn't help but ask when she saw Zhao Feng's expression.

"Your Highness, there is no problem with the temple. The Ci'en Temple is a famous temple in Daxing and has a pivotal position in Buddhism."

"But I'm afraid it won't be easy to set up a memorial tablet in Ci'en Temple."

"And it's for Concubine Xiao..."

The three little ones became nervous when they heard this.

Princess Ankang even had a wooden statue of Concubine Xiao carved, so it would be troublesome if she couldn't set up a memorial tablet in Ci'en Temple.

Zhao Feng immediately explained:
"Your Highness, Ci'en Temple is quite famous among the people. It is not easy to set up a tablet in their temple."

"It doesn't matter what the money is or what the status is. It only matters what the merits of the person who made the offering were during his lifetime."

"If the person is a well-known good person, Ci'en Temple will even send people to take the initiative to welcome the tablet, thus creating a great reputation."

Hearing this, Princess Ankang recalled the time when she visited Ci'en Temple and saw a Buddhist temple with a wall full of tablets. She was so shocked that her mouth dropped open slightly:

"Are all the memorial tablets in Ci'en Temple these from such kind people?"

But then Princess Ankang couldn't help but say, "But my mother is also a very good person. There should be no reason for Ci'en Temple to reject her, right?"

Zhao Feng smiled slightly and comforted him:
"Your Highness, this is natural. With your character, you are naturally qualified to be welcomed into the Ci'en Temple and enshrined." "It's just..."

The three little ones all knew that the following words were the key points.

"The Queen's identity is somewhat special. I'm afraid that many people in the outside world still hate her."

"If people knew that the tablet of the goddess was enshrined in Ci'en Temple, there would definitely be villains who would interfere and desecrate the tablet of the goddess."

Princess Ankang lowered her head, looking very disappointed, but she couldn't help asking:

"My mother is gone, is there anyone who still hates her?"

"why?"

"Why do you still hate someone who is no longer here?"

Zhao Feng sighed and said to Princess Ankang:
"Your Highness, just like you still miss Concubine Xiao, human emotions are something that transcends the boundaries of life and death and time."

"When Beiliang lost contact in the cold wave, many people from outside Beiliang also stayed there."

"Their relatives hate everything about Beiliang, and the Beiliang princess who is living abroad, that is, Concubine Xiao, has become the best target for their anger."

"When Beiliang was gradually isolated by the cold wave, many conspiracy theories circulated, and many people believed one of them, which was that Beiliang was the one who plotted all this."

"They believed that Beiliang wanted to achieve some hidden purpose, so he turned the cold wave that symbolized good luck into a disaster, which ultimately buried him and implicated others."

Princess Ankang couldn't listen any longer and said angrily, "How can they say such irresponsible things?"

"Isn't it my mother who has lost the most relatives?"

Princess Ankang felt sorry for her mother after hearing these remarks.

"Your Highness, that's human nature."

"They just want to vent, and don't care what the facts are."

"As long as there is a goal to vent, other things don't really matter."

Li Xuan frowned. He didn't expect that the outside world had such prejudice against Concubine Xiao.

What if they enshrined Concubine Xiao's tablet in Ci'en Temple? First of all, let's not talk about whether Ci'en Temple is willing to take on such a trouble. If it is discovered by some people with ulterior motives, I am afraid they will definitely destroy it privately or say some ugly and obscene words to insult Concubine Xiao.

This was not the original intention of the three little ones.

The wooden statue of Princess Ankang can be enshrined in Jingyang Palace, and they can make a better tablet for themselves.

Anyway, there are not many people in this world who would worship Concubine Xiao, and it is likely that these three are all of them.

If you worship secretly, change your name and conceal your identity, you can definitely save a lot of trouble.

But Li Xuan was unwilling to let Princess Ankang suffer this injustice.

"Is Ci'en Temple really so powerful that it cannot be suppressed by force?"

Li Xuan asked bluntly.

Zhao Feng and Ye Lao immediately understood Li Xuan's plan, and couldn't help laughing when they saw the domineering little black cat.

"Ah Xuan, you are becoming more and more domineering."

Zhao Feng shook his head and continued:

"It's not that I don't watch it at all, but I think it's not that affected."

"Ah Xuan, do you know that there are eight holy places for martial arts in the martial arts world?"

Li Xuan nodded. He had heard from Mr. Ye about the eight martial arts holy places.

Mr. Ye had mentioned the eight martial arts holy places more than once in front of Li Xuan.

The implicit meaning of his words was to let him visit these places when he travels around in the future.

The eight martial arts holy places are not just the most powerful sects in the world, the most important thing is that these eight places have produced the Chosen Ones, and they still retain the yin and yang attribute skills left by the Chosen Ones.

Old Master Ye just wanted Li Xuan to collect all these skills and then integrate them all to satisfy his curiosity.

After witnessing Li Xuan, the most special person in history, Mr. Ye’s ambition grew and he wanted to witness more.

Since Li Xuan has the ability to practice the Yin-Yang True Extreme Art to perfection in a short period of time, perhaps other Yin-Yang attribute techniques can also be done in the same way.

By then, Old Ye really wants to see what the scene will be like after Li Xuan has perfected all the Yin-Yang attribute techniques in the world?
You know, the people with destiny in history all relied on a yin-yang skill to practice to the first level and became the pinnacle of the world.

If Li Xuan could gather all the skills of the previous Chosen Ones, would he be able to break through the limit of the first level?
Thinking of this, even Mr. Ye couldn't help but feel a thrill, as if he had returned to his youth, full of expectations for the future.

This is also the reason why he repeatedly introduced the eight major martial arts holy places to Li Xuan.

What Li Xuan did not expect was that among these eight martial arts holy places, there was actually a familiar face, none other than Aimu's sect, the Holy Fire Sect.

It just so happened that Aimu, the candidate saint of the Holy Fire Sect who was working as a courtesan in Hu Yulou, regarded Li Xuan as the savior holy beast in the prophecy. This should save Li Xuan a lot of effort when he comes into contact with the Holy Fire Sect in the future.

After all, it is a reasonable request for the Holy Beast to learn a unique skill of the sect, right?
As for the other seven martial arts holy places, Li Xuan only had a simple understanding of them through Ye Lao's introduction. They are: Qianren Sword Pavilion, Jiuzhou Yuexie, West Pavilion, Tianlu Academy, Thirty-Six Peaks, Floating Cloud Temple, and Wuxianju.

These seven places, plus the Holy Fire Sect, are the eight famous martial arts holy places in the world.

If you have the opportunity to join these eight places, basically your way in the world will be secured, and no one will dare to provoke you casually.

After all, the old guys from these eight families are the world's top masters, and no one dares to provoke them easily.

If it weren't for their different pursuits, the foundation of the eight martial arts holy places would be more than enough for each of them to establish a small country.

There are also forces like the Holy Fire Sect that actually controls hundreds of countries in the Western Regions.

It’s just that their goal is not to establish rule, but to focus on spreading doctrine.

Other martial arts holy places also have their own reasons and have never had greater ambitions, so they have been able to get along relatively well with the local courts.

Among the eight major martial arts holy places, the Holy Fire Sect is located in the Western Regions, the Wuxianju is isolated overseas, and the remaining six are all located in Daxing.

The fact that Daxing has stood for a thousand years is closely related to the abundant martial virtues among the people.

If the enemy wants to invade Daxing on a large scale, causing the destruction of the people and committing all kinds of evil, they must think twice.

If you provoke any of these martial arts holy places and then try to conquer the world with a sword, you'll be finished.

But generally speaking, as long as they don't go too far, the eight major martial arts holy places will not interfere in the change of dynasties. This is a default rule.

After all, no martial arts holy land wants to be tied to a dynasty.

Their pursuits are different. They are a group of martial arts fanatics who pursue the ultimate of martial arts. To achieve the supreme realm is far more attractive to them than to become an emperor.

But Zhao Feng must have some reason for mentioning the eight martial arts holy places at this critical juncture.

"Could it be that Ci'en Temple is also so amazing?"

Li Xuan was stunned and asked Zhao Feng.

If Ci'en Temple really had the strength of the eight martial arts holy places, then Li Xuan felt that he should still be more polite.

For no other reason than that he is a cat with good qualities.

"That's not true."

Zhao Feng's answer made Li Xuan glare immediately and become fierce again.

"Although there are many powerful martial arts sects in this world, to become a martial arts holy land, at least one person with destiny must have emerged. Ci'en Temple does not have such an opportunity yet."

"Ah Xuan, but I have to remind you that in addition to the eight major martial arts sacred places, there are actually two hidden martial arts sacred places."

"Guess which two?"

Zhao Feng deliberately kept the secret in suspense and teased the kitten.
