I really became a king.

Chapter 136: The Gift from the Secluded Sect

A year later, the capital of Dali still looks the same as before, and the Battle of Kongtong is still talked about with relish.

In that battle, one hundred thousand sun and moon wheels appeared out of nowhere, and the bloody massacre of Kongtong also led to the official rise of a new royal noble.

Even those who dislike Jiang Yi have to admit one fact: the current situation of Prince Yi's Mansion is set!
After the Battle of Kongtong, everyone's way of addressing Jiang Yi changed unconsciously. In the past, they would call him "Prince Duan's Mansion", but now it has become Prince Yi's Mansion.

A year later, Prince Yi's Palace was officially completed.

As for the specific location of the palace, Jiang Yi spent a full month investigating in Luofu and finally decided to build it on the one-third hillside of the main peak, Kongtong.

Yes, it is the main peak of Kongtong. Jiang Yi renamed the entire oasis Luofu, but the main peak is still named Kongtong, because these two words reminded him of the Kongtong Seal in the mythology of his previous life, which can be regarded as a memory.

On the mountainside, there is a flat land of thousands of acres, with mountains, water, green trees and a pleasant climate. From there you can overlook the entire Luofu.

Built halfway up the mountain, the entire main peak Kongtong became the back mountain of Prince Yi's Mansion. Taking advantage of the mountain's terrain, a miniature version of the Five Elements Array was established.

At the foot of the main peak of Kongtong, the original base camp is the headquarters of [Sun and Moon Terrace], a huge courtyard covering thousands of acres.

Further out, there are numerous military camps, which are as solid as a rock.

In particular, the four branches outside the main peak were used to build a five-element city defense formation, covering the entire oasis.

The entire Luofu, because of this lake city formation, can be said to be an iron wall and is not inferior to the nine important cities on the border.

Especially Prince Yi's Mansion, which can be said to be the most unbreakable place.

If one day, even if the outer circle of Luofu is conquered, the main peak of Kongtong can still be used to repel the invading enemies at the foot of the mountain.

Jiang Yi basically stayed in Luofu over the past year, supervising the construction of the Sun and Moon Platform and Prince Yi's Palace while practicing almost non-stop.

After the Battle of Kongtong, he learned a lot of secrets from the Dali Emperor Jiang Zhenyi, including the secret disciple like Ji Hou.

Jiang Yi had no contempt for the true strength of this secluded sect.

Ji Hou alone was a secret disciple of a small secluded sect, and his strength was comparable to his. What about the secret disciples of the seven sects and eight schools and the two holy places?

It must be even more powerful. Jiang Yi felt inexplicable pressure and at the same time, he generated endless fighting spirit.

He is Ji Hou now, and one day, he will be above all the secret disciples of the secular sects!

In addition to becoming a secret disciple of a secluded sect, Jiang Yi also learned about the existence of a hidden martial arts sect.

Thousands of years ago, the four great royal families had joined forces to suppress the secluded sects. But later, for some unknown reason, the secluded martial arts sects all withdrew from the world, even more thoroughly than the secluded sects.

Nowadays, apart from a limited number of superiors at the top, there are more than just hidden martial arts sects in the world.

According to Jiang Zhenyi, the descendants of these hidden martial arts sects are also very powerful and are not weaker than the secret disciples outside the world.

Moreover, there were many ambitious people. While they jointly suppressed the secular sects with the four royal families, they also secretly checked and balanced the four royal families and took away some of the secular power.

"What is the reason that makes them hide away from the world so completely? Is it really because of the so-called 'luck'?" Jiang Yi had no idea at all.

"Forget about that. Now that the secret disciples have shown signs of entering the world, I believe these hidden sects will not be able to endure this for much longer. Everything will become clear by then."

"However, such a world is wonderful!" Jiang Yi was full of expectations. This was the fantasy world he had originally imagined, full of geniuses and prodigies. Otherwise it would be too lonely.

Putting this thought aside for the moment, something appeared in Jiang Yi's hand, a bright yellow token with the word Yinshan engraved on the back.

This token was given to him by Jiang Zhenyi, the Emperor of Dali. To be more precise, it was sent by a secluded sect. It is the certificate for entering and exiting the [Yinshan Secret Realm].

"What kind of existence is Yinshan Secret Realm?"

Even Jiang Zhenyi had no idea about this problem. It was said that the hidden martial arts sect had competed with the secular sect in the past, but failed in the end. The Yinshan Secret Realm was firmly controlled by the secular sect.

Jiang Zhenyi just said with a serious face: The Yinshan Secret Realm is the foundation of the existence of the secret disciples of the secular sects!
Therefore, Jiang Yi was full of anticipation for the trip to the Yinshan Secret Realm in a few months. Could it be a real immortal land?

"Empress Ye should know some information about the secret realm of Yinshan, but it's a pity that she can't tell it..."

After the Battle of Kongtong, the Emperor of Dali became much tougher than before, and Ye Xinmei has been much quieter over the past year. Even the dramatic changes in the Nine Frontiers that were supposed to happen did not happen.

Jiang Yi had some vague guesses as to what this meant, and he became even more murderous.

For their own selfish interests, they openly stirred up the situation in the Nine Borders and brought cholera to the people. He would not allow such people to enter the world, let alone allow them to hold worldly power!

He took a look at the bright yellow token in his hand, and with a thought, another token appeared next to it. The shape and carving were exactly the same, the only difference was the color.

The newly appeared aqua blue is as clear as water, with a layer of surging halo on the surface, and it really looks like it is made of water.

This aqua-blue token was one of the trophies obtained from Ji Hou. According to a brief note in his book, this token was obtained from the treasure left by his ancestors.

After getting it, Jiang Yi studied it over and over for more than half a year, but he had no clue. In the end, he simply threw it into the corner of the storage ring along with the Sun and Moon Order.

But there is always a silver lining. After Jiang Zhenyi delivered the bright yellow token, a turning point appeared.

Because when the secular sect sent the token, it also sent the method of refining the token, a refining method that is common to both secular warriors and secular cultivators.

Originally, there was only an exclusive refining method for this token, but Jiang Yi had a golden man. Relying on the golden man, he continued to derive and deduce for several months, and finally deduced a complete set of refining techniques.

Jiang Yi named it "The Art of Refining Treasures" and with the help of this art, he successfully refined the water-blue token.

But that’s all. As for what other functions the token has besides being an entry and exit credential, and what the difference is between the two, you will only know after entering the Yinshan Secret Realm.

"The Yinshan Secret Realm is so important that they actually gave me a token. Are they planning to use the secret disciples in the secret realm to kill me?"

Knowing this clearly, Jiang Yi had no intention of backing down and was even looking forward to the trip to Yinshan. He also wanted to take this opportunity to meet the secret disciples of the seven sects and eight schools, including the two holy places.

"But does this count as aiding the enemy?"

Jiang Yi's expression suddenly became a little puzzled. With a thought, another token appeared a few steps in front of him. It was in the shape of an armband and as black as ink.

It was the sun and the moon, which were originally just decorations, that obeyed the order.

But now, it has been initially refined by Jiang Yi using the "Treasure Refining Technique". The sun, moon and stars carved on it are no longer dead objects, but look like real ones, emitting their own unique halos, and even according to the time, the sun rises and sets, and the stars appear and disappear.

In addition, the first step of activation is completed and the first function is available.
