I just reached the maximum level, and you want me to be a puppet emperor?

Chapter 179: The opportunities created by heaven and earth belong to the virtuous! (Please subscribe and vote)

The terrifying power that Li Chen unleashed shocked more than 100,000 practitioners near the Xianguling Lake beyond words, and they didn't even dare to breathe.

No matter they are cultivators from sects or from aristocratic families, in their decades of cognition, True Man Chi Yuan and Master Qingxu are both god-like beings.

No matter their strength or temperament, they are immortals passed down from mouth to mouth in this area, and are the leaders of two great sects.

The emperor is just a secular administrator. No matter how high his status is, he cannot escape from the secular level.

But today, a powerful person at the secular level actually trampled two immortals under his feet?
The otherworldly image of True Man Chi Yuan and Master Qing Xu collapsed in an instant.

Everyone had the thought that 'they would actually lose'.

Even though the people from Chensha Taoist Sect and Yuxu Immortal Palace could not understand it, the facts were right in front of them.

The governor Zhang Zhishan and tens of thousands of city guards were even more excited!

Just now they had unleashed the Harmonious Pulse Formation, which was able to barely block the energy released by the golden sword beam that hit the phantoms of the two sacred beasts.

This is still quite far away, so one can imagine the power of the core area of ​​the explosion.

Some of the weaker cultivators were directly shocked and fainted.

People closer to the periphery, like Jiang Rong, who saw Li Chen unleash his strength for the first time, could no longer describe their admiration for Li Chen.

It turns out that the emperor who is always by his side has the power to destroy heaven and earth.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt I had made a huge profit. Normally, I had no chance to meet the emperor!
Zhu Zhuying and Ning Xiaoxiao were all shocked every time they saw Li Chen unleash his strength, even if it was not the first time.

They looked at each other and both felt that their choice was absolutely correct. This was the man who stood at the pinnacle of the Tiance Dynasty!

Lin Mo was feeling nervous and scared. Fortunately, he did not show any disrespect in front of Li Chen, otherwise, he would be killed with ease. He was not joking at all.

At this moment, he also felt that he was really lucky. Not only was he fine, but he also got a job.

In the core area of ​​the energy fluctuation, True Man Chi Yuan and Master Qingxu are both at the saint level, so they can withstand this powerful fluctuation. If someone else is there, he may die on the spot!

Moreover, if Li Chen had not taken away the sword light, the two of them would have barely used their own magic weapons to resist, and they would have been seriously injured if not killed.

Now, looking at Li Chen's expression, they knew that Li Chen was giving them a chance to surrender, otherwise they would not bother to take away the sword light.

It can be said that Li Chen gave them two chances.

If they continue to be tactless, then there is no need for Li Chen to continue to be polite.

Above the nine heavens, the purple dragon roared once again, shaking people's hearts!

True Man Chi Yuan and Master Qing Xu were convinced this time.

Even a combined attack from the two of them couldn't cause any harm to the emperor, so why bother fighting?

"I, Chi Yuan, pay my respects to His Majesty!"

"I, the humble commoner Qingxu, come to see Your Majesty!"

As the two saints knelt down and worshiped Li Chen, the battle between the three saints came to an end.

When the people from Chensha Taoist Sect and Yuxu Immortal Palace saw their own sect leaders kneeling down, they also knelt down to pay their respects to Li Chen.

Influenced by them, monks from the surrounding sects also knelt down one after another.

The voices paying homage to Li Chen echoed throughout the area.

Wherever Li Chen looked, he saw his subjects kneeling on the ground.

Now Li Chen felt much more comfortable with it. He was indeed not used to someone talking to him while standing.

To the emperor, this was impolite.

Li Chen is a cautious person. The reason why he is so arrogant is because he went to the Heavenly Prison to ask Dingtian Shangren, and Dingtian Shangren did not take these people seriously. Li Chen roughly knew that these people were not a big problem.

Dingtian Shangren is already a very powerful existence in the cultivation world of the Tiance Dynasty.

It is now also Li Chen’s unit of measurement.

How could Li Chen look down on something that even the greatest people in the world look down upon?

Just like what Li Chen said that day that almost made him vomit blood, 'They can't even beat you, they are really not that good'.

There are only a few saints in the world today who can be troubled by even the most powerful people.

Perhaps only those hermits who have reached the saint level can fight with Li Chen.

As for why Li Chen said that some ancient cultivators were not as good as him, this is very reasonable and simple.

The ancient times were quite chaotic and there were abundant resources. Wouldn’t those with strong abilities have ascended to heaven long ago?

How could those who cannot ascend possibly defeat Li Chen?

Li Chen is truly at the maximum level, and he is not someone that can be dealt with by just any ancient cultivator.

The reason why Li Chen gave True Man Chi Yuan and Master Qingxu a chance to recognize themselves was because Li Chen had indeed investigated and found that these two major sects were not extremely evil forces.

The reputation of Yuxu Immortal Palace has always been very good, which can be heard from the residents of Shanghe City.

It is understandable that the Chensha Taoist Sect, which Li Chen initially thought had problems, had certain grounds for accepting disciples.

It's normal to have some flaws, but overall it's still good.

If Li Chen caught them planning a rebellion or colluding with the remnants of the previous dynasty, they wouldn't even have the chance to kneel down.

Thinking of this, Li Chen also felt that the remnants of the previous dynasty were really in a bad state. He thought they had some big boss for me to take action against, but in the end, he made me run all the way.

There is no way around it. The cultivation method of the Yuan family of the previous dynasty has been defined as evil and has been attacked everywhere. According to the system of the Tiance Dynasty, it would be strange if they could rise again.

This can actually be said to be what the people want.

But this is just Li Chen's perspective, he can feel that way.

The late emperor faced many difficulties at this stage. It was very troublesome for him to investigate this place. From his point of view, the major sects would definitely not cooperate and even resist the court's investigation.

Moreover, there are many masters among the remnants of the previous dynasty, and the late emperor had been attacked before.

If the guards hadn't fought desperately, he would probably have died here.

These attackers came with great force, and after their attacks failed, they simply hid back in the sect.

Even if they just hid back in an ordinary sect, the late emperor would be unable to do anything to them.

Because these sects are all under the protection of the Zixiao Tiangong alliance, and no trace of them can be found, and the officers and soldiers of the Tiance Dynasty cannot investigate each sect one by one.

The late emperor was also unable to face the wrath of the two saints directly.

We can't just move the imperial soldiers over here.

Even if we move here, there are two saints near Zixiao Palace, and we may not be able to defeat them.

Not to mention that there is a more mysterious saint realm somewhere else.

If an investigation was forced, the late emperor would have to face three saints and hundreds of thousands of monks from various sects at the same time.

The pressure is more than great.

Therefore, even the investigation was carried out in a cautious manner, a formal incognito visit.

Unfortunately, there were still remnants of the previous dynasty among the officials of Shanghe City, and his information was soon exposed, leading to the attack.

This was a rare attack by the remnants of the previous dynasty, and there were heavy casualties.

Finally, the late emperor had no choice but to return to the imperial capital, and this incognito visit ended in failure.

If there is any gain, it is that he got a beloved concubine, Li Sining's mother, Concubine Yi.

After that, the late emperor rarely left the palace. There were many experts in the palace, so the remnants of the previous dynasty could not find a way to attack, so they could only rely on the imperial physician.

But Li Chen is different. He usually walks around the imperial capital in a swaggering manner and is too lazy to even bring guards with him.

This time I came to Shanghe City, although it was a secret visit, it was not that secretive. All the officials in Shanghe City, big and small, knew about it.

Even the leaders of nearby sects had heard about it.

But the problem is, even though he was so blatant, no remnants of the previous dynasty dared to attack him.

Because in the eyes of the remnants of the previous dynasty, attacking Li Chen was no different from seeking death.

The remnants of the previous dynasty were also cunning. They felt that Li Chen’s exposure might be a conspiracy. The emperor used himself as bait to lure them out and then attack them in one fell swoop.

So everyone stayed away.

In terms of gains, the late emperor got a Concubine Yi. During the few days that Li Chen was here, stunning beauties kept coming to his door.

In terms of investigation, the late emperor had a difficult time, facing strong resistance and two huge obstacles.

Li Chen now wants to make the late emperor feel that he is a hindrance and a powerful person, and start cooperating with the investigation and acting like a subordinate.

"Everyone get up!"

Li Chen's voice echoed around the Xianguling Lake. Even though he spoke in a low voice, everyone could hear it clearly. This was the strength of a top expert.

After everyone stood up, Master Chi Yuan was the first to speak: "I wonder why Your Majesty is here today?"

True Man Chi Yuan has cultivated to this level, he must be a very smart person.

He felt that Li Chen didn't need to travel all the way from the imperial capital just for a chance to visit the Xianguling Lake.

Master Qingxu held a whisk in his hand, listening on the side and checking Li Chen's expression.

Maybe Li Chen doesn't care about the resources of Xianguling Lake, but the two major sects care about it very much in order to continue to develop.

If the sect can obtain the spiritual spring of Xiangu Linghu, there will be a steady stream of powerful people in the sect.

So much so that they both came here in person, perhaps for this opportunity.

This only happens once every seven years.

Hearing what Master Chi Yuan said, Li Chen said, "I also heard from others that the people in your Zixiao Palace are cruel, so I came here to investigate."

Li Chen did not make this up. After all, this is what Master Wanfeng of Jiuyuan Holy Land said.

Li Chen's words scared the two of them so much that they quickly explained that they were from orthodox sects and had never done anything against the law.

Master Chi Yuan even shouted that it was some bastard who was talking nonsense.

"Don't worry, I have already investigated you personally and know your character, but I have one more thing to do this time, and that is fairness!"

When Li Chen said this, not only the more than 100,000 cultivators around him, but even the two saints in front of him were confused. What is fairness? Is there anything unfair here?

Feeling that everyone's eyes were on him, Li Chen gave a direct explanation, or rather an announcement.

"Opportunities are created by heaven and earth, and they belong to those with virtue. If you want to get opportunities and convince others, you must do something."

In short, I took all the opportunities in Xianguling Lake by myself and brought them back to Shanghe City.

If you want, no matter you are a cultivator from an aristocratic family or a cultivator from a sect, you can exchange them with human heads.

Catching evil cultivators or remnants of the previous dynasty, or even just providing clues, can yield a large amount of resources.

Then you can also accept tasks assigned by the court.

For example, you can obtain resources by taking on missions such as eliminating monsters, dealing with disasters, or even participating in expeditions to the north and killing strong men from northern tribes.

If you perform well, the court will even provide you with certain subsidies.

Li Chen’s meaning is very simple. I am not preventing you from developing, nor am I not giving you opportunities. You have to listen to me, help me do things, and stabilize the situation, and I will give you resources.

Resources are the lifeblood of the sect's monks, they will definitely agree.

Besides, although Li Chen's words were meant to be a discussion, there was no room for negotiation; his words were the decision.

In Li Chen's opinion, aren't you people from the sects brave and aggressive? You usually form gangs and fight in the territory of the Tiance Dynasty. If you have the free time, you might as well go out and work.

As soon as Li Chen finished speaking, True Man Chi Yuan and Master Qing Xu entered into a brief period of thought.

But at this moment, a practitioner nearby shouted.

"Your Majesty's allocation is very wise!"

This made Li Chen stunned, and he thought to himself that he didn't find anyone to help him this time.

But this person is a powerful independent cultivator, and he has two disciples under him, which does not even belong to a small sect.

They have very few channels to obtain resources, and it is even possible that their trip will be in vain.

With so many natural resources, 90% of them are monopolized by two major sects. These small sects and independent cultivators will definitely not accept this.

It would be of great benefit to them if they could obtain resources by completing tasks.

Hearing this person start the movement, other people nearby also started to make a fuss.

Another cultivator also echoed loudly, "Your Majesty is wise! We cultivators are homeless and lack resources. It is a great blessing for us to have this opportunity!"

At this time, a monk from the sect also stood up. Although he was a little unwilling in his heart, he still said respectfully: "Your Majesty's move is fair and selfless. The monks of our sect are willing to serve the court and seek common development."

Among the aristocratic monks, an elderly man spoke slowly, with a hint of emotion in his voice: "Your Majesty is wise and brave, and sympathizes with the suffering of aristocratic monks like us. This distribution is really a blessing for our generation. We aristocratic monks will definitely go all out to help the court solve its problems."

Li Chen listened to the voices of the crowd and nodded secretly in his heart.

It seems that these guys are quite sensible. They know that this distribution method can allow them to get more, so they will naturally side with the court.

After looking around, Li Chen looked at True Man Chi Yuan and Master Qingxu. Although the two had complicated expressions, they nodded seriously and said that this was very fair. Everyone should obtain resources based on their own abilities, which was considered as accepting this arrangement.

Even though they were somewhat reluctant, there was nothing they could do. After all, they could not beat Li Chen.

Although this kind of distribution will certainly reduce the resources obtained by the two major sects, it is better than having no resources and causing public anger. Just consider it as giving face to Li Chen, the emperor of the Saint Realm.

Besides, Li Chen has such strength and he did not deliberately embarrass them. In the Tiance Dynasty, it is better to have more friends in the Saint Realm than more enemies.

They both understood Li Chen's good intentions as the emperor.

The prefect Zhang Zhishan admired Li Chen's move from the bottom of his heart. In his opinion, Li Chen's move not only won the hearts of the people, but also cleverly obtained the help of more than 100,000 practitioners, and would even strengthen the cooperation between the sect and the court. It was really killing two birds with one stone.

The voices around were one after another, all praising Li Chen's actions.

Li Chen smiled slightly and said loudly: "Okay! Since everyone has no objection, then this matter is settled. I hope that everyone can work together to contribute to the development of the Tiance Dynasty!"

This sentence is just a polite remark, but it is also the final word.

Having said that, the spiritual spring of Xianguling Lake will be monopolized by the Tiance Dynasty this time.

A group of practitioners returned to Shanghe City in advance and waited for the mission to be received.

True Man Chi Yuan sincerely invited Li Chen to visit Chensha Taoist Sect, and also invited Master Qingxu.

Li Chen happened to have something to ask, so he agreed.

Just like that, the three powerful saints rode their mounts to Chensha Dao Sect.

As for the collection and transportation of Xianguling Lake, Li Chen does not need to worry about it, the prefect Zhang Zhishan will naturally handle it.

Moreover, Li Chen’s strength has already been demonstrated, and no one dares to offend him at this time.

If even two great saints surrendered, how could others possibly resist?

The area where Chensha Dao Sect is located is majestic and spectacular, with overlapping mountains and shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairyland.

Inside the sect, there are towering ancient trees, scattered buildings, and the spiritual energy is so rich that it is almost liquefied.

This kind of place should also be a spiritual vein. If you practice in this kind of place, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

Under the leadership of True Man Chi Yuan, Li Chen and Master Qingxu rode their respective mounts, slowly traveling through the sect, feeling the rich atmosphere of cultivation.

"Your clan is indeed very impressive!" Li Chen said casually.

This was the emperor's affirmation. True Man Chi Yuan showed a confident smile on his face and said, "Although Chensha Dao Sect is not as large as the ancient sects, it is also considered a top sect in the Tiance Dynasty."

Master Qingxu next to him was too lazy to refute him and let him brag for a while. After all, this was his territory.

The three of them walked forward and arrived at the residence of True Man Chi Yuan.

The layout here is elegant and quiet, and the Taoist tranquility and indifference are revealed everywhere.

After they sat down, the banquet was set up, and Master Chi Yuan even took out a thousand-year-old wine to entertain Li Chen.

This made Master Qingxu a little dumbfounded. When I came to visit you before, you said you didn't have it, but how come you found it when Li Chen came?

True Man Chi Yuan didn't care about his look at all. What level are you? You definitely can't get him here, because he is His Majesty.

The three of them drank and chatted happily in this quiet courtyard, having a very pleasant conversation.

Because there were only three of them in this place, no one else, and it wasn't a public place, so they could talk about private topics and become familiar with each other as they chatted.

Like before, when Liu Hao and Wu Qi were drinking with Li Chen, they didn't dare to call each other brothers.

But True Man Chi Yuan and Master Qing Xu dared to do so, and they are indeed qualified.

After three rounds of drinks, Li Chen got straight to the point and asked, "Master Chi Yuan, can you tell me in detail about the leader of the Zixiao Tiangong Alliance?"

True Man Chi Yuan also realized that this might be the purpose of Li Chen coming to drink this time.

So he nodded solemnly and said, "The leader is the leader of the Taihua Sword Sect. He is extremely mysterious and never shows his true face to anyone. Although Master Qingxu and I have had encounters with him, we have never seen his true face.

What's even more strange is that his strength is unfathomable. He is neither as law-abiding as a normal cultivator nor an evil cultivator. His existence is like a mystery."

The Taihua Sword Sect is very special because it is not located within the territory of the Tiance Dynasty. It is located in the west of the Tiance Dynasty, at the border with several other countries. The Taihua Sword Sect is a mixed bag, with people from all over the place.

Master Qingxu took over the conversation and added: "I have privately speculated that the leader of the Taihua Sword Sect may be from the Sassanid Dynasty, or a hybrid of the human race and the demon race. After all, his way of doing things is very different from that of ordinary people."

"Oh?" Li Chen raised his eyebrows and asked with interest, "Why do you have such a guess?"

Master Qingxu sighed and said, "I still remember the battle in Xiegu that year. I vaguely felt that the sect leader seemed to have a trace of the aura of the demon race."
