Supreme Golden Palace

Chapter 107: Near Immortal (Part )

Therefore, after Yang Lin led his troops to Baidaochuan, Lu Shang could directly unload his military duties and be at ease as his vanguard.

With this old thousand-year-old man in charge of the southern part of the desert and in charge of the overall situation, Lu Shang only needs to follow the old thousand-year-old man's orders, serve in the army, and break through the enemy's formations.

After wiping out Datou's troops, we will return to Daxing and reward them according to their merits.

With his status as the prince of Qi County and the future son-in-law of Princess Lanling, he could at least get the title and salary of a county duke.

"With the salary of a county duke, I can find a way to transfer back to the Secretariat and become a noble secretary. When I have nothing to do, I can read the books in the Four Treasures. When I get tired of reading, I can go to Jinxiulang to drink tea and play chess. It is also a pleasure."

After talking with Shabolue for a few words, Lu Shang walked out of the golden tent and strolled away, his thoughts drifting far away.

Although according to Lu Shang's military record, if he were a military officer, he would be promoted at least two levels to become a fourth-rank general after returning to Daxing.

But Lu Shang really didn't want to join the army. With his almost immortal martial arts skills, and the fact that he was both Yang Jian's nephew and Yang Jian's son-in-law, relying on this relationship, it was not impossible for him to become a third-rank general.

The rank of a third-rank general is the pinnacle that a military officer can achieve. Above them, the ranks of senior general, pillar of the state, and even senior pillar of the state are all honorary officers among military officers. They are more in name than reality and do not have much power themselves.

However, the more prominent his position in the army, the more likely he is to be involved in the struggle for the throne between Yang Yong and Yang Guang, which is the real big trouble.

Lü Shang didn't want to get involved, but if he were in that position, many things would be beyond his control. If Yang Yong and Yang Guang were to fight, he would be caught in the middle, which would be very uncomfortable.

Yang Jian and Yang Lin were both very kind to him, so he really didn't want to help Yang Guang succeed.

But if you stand on Yang Yong's side, Yang Guang is the reincarnation of Zhu Po Long, and is destined to bring disaster to the Sui Dynasty. There is no way Yang Yong can defeat Yang Guang.

The wisest choice is to stay away from military power, do your job in the Secretariat, and watch the clouds roll by.

Of course, even if he wanted to see the situation unfold, Lü Shang would not return to the Secretariat as a Secretary. Lü Shang was currently a fifth-rank military officer, and if he were to transfer to the Secretariat, he would only be a fifth-rank Secretary.

The five central ministries were the Imperial Secretariat, the Ministry of Palace Affairs, the Ministry of Chancellery, the Ministry of Secret Affairs, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Although the Secretary-General of the Secretariat is of the fifth rank, he is an assistant official of the Secretariat, only below the chief secretary, and is extremely noble.

While Lu Shang was thinking, he unknowingly walked to the edge of the camp. Suddenly, the sound of rapid horse hooves approached from afar, interrupting his thoughts.

"The future is terrifying!"

In the golden tent, not long after Lu Shang left, the great wizard Yildiz beside Shabolue whispered.

Shabo nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "This Lü Shang is truly remarkable. King Yang Lin can protect the Sui Dynasty for at least twenty years, and Lü Shang is so young. If he grows up in time, he can protect the Sui Dynasty for at least thirty years."

"With these two supporting us, the Sui Dynasty will have no worries for fifty years."

"Heaven has truly blessed the Central Plains, producing so many talented people. If the Great Turks could have the same fortune as the Central Plains, we would surely establish an unprecedentedly large Khanate, perhaps even becoming the first in history to unify Jambudvīpa."

Among the four major continents in the world, although the Turks and the Central Plains are both part of Jambudvīpa, there are many other countries in Jambudvīpa besides them.

These countries are far less powerful than the Turks and the Central Plains, but their power should not be underestimated.

"No, you are wrong. It doesn't take time. This child has already grown up."

Yildiz narrowed his eyes, an elusive light flashing in them. He said slowly, "This young man is now terrifyingly strong, beyond all expectations." Upon hearing this, Shaboluo couldn't help but show a puzzled look. He looked at Yildiz and asked, "Master, what do you mean?"

Yildiz shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know why, but I smell danger from this young man."

"You should know what this means."

Shaboluo certainly knew what it meant to allow a great wizard of the cult, a wizard who was proficient in divination and had the sharpest spiritual perception, to smell the breath of danger.

Shabo was slightly horrified and said, "He, he actually made you, Master, feel in danger. How is this possible? You are a great wizard with boundless magical powers."

"Even if he had been practicing since his mother's womb, he might have achieved this kind of accomplishment."

"Master, how is this possible?"

"Yeah, how is this possible? I don't believe it either, but the moment I saw him, I seemed to see the sacredness of the heavens, I saw the gods surrounding him, and it seemed as if a god emerged from every part of his body."

"This young man gives me a terrible feeling!"

Yildiz whispered, "All the gods have come together in one body. He wants to control them all, control everything!"

"I won't be wrong. My Wu Cult originally worshipped the gods. The aura on him is indeed the aura of a god. It is indeed the aura of a god."

After hearing what Yildiz said, Shabolue fell into long contemplation.

"This young man should not appear on the battlefield of the human world,"

Yildiz hesitated for a moment and said, "His strength can make me feel dangerous, which means he has the fighting power to make the Great Shaman return to his ancestors."

"For ordinary Turks, the appearance of such people on the battlefield means massacre."

"His strength is much, much stronger than when he first came to Yazhang. It's so strong that it's unreasonable."

"This is no longer logical. His cultivation has advanced too quickly. Could he be practicing some kind of magic technique? Even if it's magic, it wouldn't have such astonishing effects."

Yildiz's heart was a little confused. Lu Shang's aura that was close to immortality made him feel threatened.

The most important thing is that Lu Shang's progress has broken Yildiz's cognition. In Yildiz's view, even the magic skills cannot achieve such results.

The reason why the devil's way is called the devil's way is simply because it is eager for quick success and instant benefits, and often gains power at the cost of sacrificing the foundation, harming lives, or violating the ethics of heaven and earth. But even so, its cultivation speed is difficult to reach the unimaginable level of Lu Shang.

This was the first time Yildiz had seen a freak like Lu Shang. His speed of improvement was even more like the magic path than that of the devil.

"Master, is this boy's strength really so terrifying?" Chu Luohou in the tent couldn't help but ask.

Yildiz replied: "Maybe it's much more terrifying than you can imagine."

"If this boy is like Yang Lin, willing to be the supporter of the Sui Dynasty, with this boy's military power that is not restricted by the laws of heaven, the Sui Dynasty can be said to be as solid as a rock. Not to mention there will be no worries for the next fifty years, even for the next one hundred and fifty years."

"If we want to destroy the Sui Dynasty, we must first kill Lu Shang. As long as Lu Shang is alive, the Sui Dynasty will not fall."
