I have the best bloodline

Chapter 745 You

.

With the issuance of the imperial edict by Emperor Wusheng and the full support of the Xia royal family, all civil and military officials returned to their respective departments or military camps to swiftly carry out the contents of the edict.

The Xia Dynasty sincerely invites all people to seize the great fortune bestowed by heaven and earth once again. The outcome is unpredictable, but those who win this tough battle will surely enjoy endless wealth and honor.

Those who wish to seize the opportunities of creation should come quickly, regardless of their origins. Those who refuse to participate will have their accounts closed directly. The Xia Yu Dynasty has no need for cultivators who lack courage and spirit, and it is even less likely to waste the resources in the national treasury on them.

The Xia Dynasty was truly going all out this time. The dynasty's four treasure troves were the national treasury, the Wusheng Emperor's private treasury, the Xia royal family's treasure trove, and the treasure trove of the "barbarian" clans that had once followed Emperor Yu in his conquests of the world.

The national treasury, His Majesty's treasury, and the royal family's treasure trove are all being fully opened to release the wealth accumulated over nearly ten thousand years, as well as the library storing the foundation and traditions of the Xia Yu Dynasty. All of these will be given away free of charge to the cultivators participating in the grand plan to enhance their strength.

Before Xia Yu seals himself, Emperor Wusheng will return to the future with a massive amount of immortal crystals.

The quantity was used to achieve a qualitative change, laying an important foundation for future plans.

Although the treasures of the Xia Dynasty were precious, they were all meaningless in the face of life and death. Holding power and increasing one's trump cards were the most important things.

Princess Wuxi sat quietly on the throne, looking at the empty Wanshi Palace. Her gaze was somewhat absent-minded. Suddenly, she chuckled and said, "I think I have come to understand what my great-grandfather meant by 'no regrets'."

"Oh? Didn't you used to scoff at your father's choices? Did you think you could have done a better and more thorough job if you had been in charge?"

The Third Prince slowly appeared, perched on the nine-tailed fox's tail on the back of the throne, and said with a flirtatious expression.

"The stories of this land are just stories to me. Our Xia Yu Dynasty won a great victory, wiping out the ancient remnants and the ferocious beasts." Princess Wuxi smiled at her grandfather and said, "Only now, facing the same crossroads as my great-grandfather, do I understand what kind of courage and determination it takes to burn one's boats, bear the trust of one's people and followers, and raise the butcher's knife against the gods."

"It's truly exciting! To throw those arrogant fools into the mire, to crush their pride, confidence, and tenacious will to live!"

In the former Central State, the ancient tribes and ferocious beasts that Emperor Yu of Xia faced were all overlords of the primordial immortal realm. Although Emperor Yu of Xia was posthumously honored as an emperor, at that time he was merely a branch of the Xia clan, and a small fellow within that branch.

The ancient races and ferocious beasts are experiencing a continuous dissipation of their immortal spiritual energy, causing their cultivation levels to decline. They need to devour a large number of living beings to slow down this process.

Those beings who possess divine power within their bodies but cannot utilize it are the perfect source of nourishment.

Emperor Yu of Xia was born in such an environment. Through his wisdom, the heritage of the Xia clan, and good fortune, he forged divine weapons to slay those man-eating ferocious gods and beasts. He used supreme methods to suppress the fate of the world and nurtured the land and water of the central region.

The problem facing Emperor Wusheng is now far more serious than the choice faced by Emperor Yu of Xia.

Emperor Yu of Xia could have chosen to live a life of ignominy, fleeing to other major states to live as a group of lower-class people, but now the Xia Dynasty had no way out and could only fight to the death.

Princess Wuxi had never really cared about those historical records before. In fact, because she was an outsider, she felt that she could have done a better job leading troops. But that changed when she herself faced the same choice.

Princess Wuxi finally understood the immense pressure her great-grandfather faced when he stepped forward to conquer Zhongzhou, and just how valiant and fearless he was.

No wonder. They couldn't turn the royal family against the Xia Yu clan, and they probably only recognized the authority of Emperor Wusheng in Xia Yu.

After Emperor Yu established his foothold, Emperor Wusheng expanded the territory in the central states through military force.

Of course, there is actually a little story hidden here that Princess Wuxi is unaware of.

That is the story of the Holy Mother who nurtures all spirits and beings in all directions.

With the passing of the emperor and empress, the first target of the Holy Mother of Nurturing All Spirits was the Xia Dynasty.

The historians were so terrified that they dared not write anything down, only hiding in a corner trembling with fear. The killings only ceased when no one dared to interfere with the Holy Mother of Nurturing All Spirits and she held all the reins of the Xia Dynasty in her hand.

Subsequently, the Holy Mother of All Spirits sent troops to the Kingdom of Qingqiu.

Not to mention that people all over the world didn't want to see the Holy Mother of Nurturing and Transformation, the clans of the Xia Dynasty didn't want to see that thing even more.

Before that thing, the clans and overlords that supported the existence of the Xia Dynasty were meaningless. Even if the Xia Dynasty were to perish, a new dynasty would still exist on this land the next day.

Moreover, they are even more loyal, more fearless of death, and perfectly obedient to the kingdom of the Mother of All Souls.

The prevailing sentiment at court during that period was one of widespread anxiety and a desire to prove one's worth.

The existence of the beings of Xia Yu was utterly worthless; the Holy Mother of All Living Beings could kill them at will.

After being killed, they can be resurrected and allowed to continue serving the dynasty.

If anyone dares to try to bring that thing back, the Xia Yu clan will be the first to object. In fact, in order not to anger Emperor Wusheng and cause him to go mad, whatever His Majesty says is right, and he really doesn't need to care about the opinions of us little brats.

…………

While Princess Wuxi was still discussing the story of Emperor Yu the Great with her grandfather, the clans were all stunned upon learning the contents of the imperial edict. They swallowed hard and rushed towards the palace at top speed.

Although the imperial edict did not use any cruel words between the lines.

But to those in the know, they could all sense the presence of a certain "nurturing mother."

The ancestors of various founding families and clans were terrified and hurriedly ran into the palace with the keys to their family treasuries, wanting to show their loyalty.

Normally, Emperor Wusheng turns a blind eye to Xia Yu's governance, and while Xia Yu has earned merit and hard work, it's normal for him to live off the glory of his ancestors. But now that the dynasty is in trouble, shouldn't you all step forward and show your support?

You need to distinguish between what's more important, your life or your possessions.

"Uh"

Princess Wuxi watched as the clan leaders and founding elders of the various clans rushed to the Hall of Ten Thousand Generations, each taking out their storage rings and keys to donate. For a moment, she was confused about what was happening and looked at her grandfather.

The Third Prince said with a strange expression, "Since everyone knows that the country is in trouble and is willing to contribute money and effort, we will not accept their donations."

"Yes, yes, yes! Your Highness is right. We are an inseparable part of the Xia Yu Dynasty. Without Xia Yu, there would be no us today. We can lose anything, but the Xia Yu Dynasty cannot!" The clansmen eloquently expressed their loyalty, insisting on stuffing money into Princess Wuxi's hands, as if they would die in the Wanshi Palace if she didn't accept it.

Faced with the wrathful Mother of All Souls, it seems that committing suicide in advance would be a more worthwhile thing to do.

"Let's put aside the matter of your date with your little lover for a while and register everyone," the Third Prince said with a smile.

"No," Princess Wuxi glanced back at her leisurely grandfather and said softly.

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Grandpa should be able to handle these matters. There's no need to trouble them."

The Third Prince's smile froze, as if he couldn't believe that the Princess could be so cold-blooded as to leave him all alone in the Wanshi Palace and run off to find her lover.

Chapter 746 The Secret Hidden at the Bottom of the Lake

The Xia Dynasty was in full swing, and when they learned that the country was in trouble, they contributed money and effort.

They feared that after the Xia Dynasty collapsed, some kind of motherly figure would reappear, and they would be subjected to a great and terrifying purge because of their inaction.

Princess Wuxi grumbled and cursed. She had originally planned to chat with her grandfather for a bit before setting off to attend the banquet with Su Yan, but the Wanshi Palace was so crowded that she had to be delayed.

If the Third Prince were to run even two steps slower, the Prince would be sitting on his throne, cursing and swearing.

His main body works at the bottom of the Demon Suppression Division, while his three avatars are busy running around outside. If even a small avatar had to go to work, it would be terrible. He just came to check on his beloved granddaughter and gossip about her husband.

…………

In the Kingdom of Qingqiu.

"here it is"

The Qilin Fairy, who had left the Wanshi Palace earlier, arrived in front of a blue lake that stretched as far as the eye could see, like an ocean on land.

As soon as Fairy Qilin emerged from the spatial portal, she saw Su Yan squatting in front of the lake, with a white dragon coiled on his left shoulder and a black dragon in a deep sleep on his right shoulder. Meanwhile, the lake in front of her was undergoing a tremendous change, with its waters turbulent and converging from all sides towards the center, forming a pillar reaching to the sky.

Su Yan was using his water control abilities to influence the flow of water in the lake in front of him.

What are you doing?

The Qilin Fairy walked behind Su Yan and looked at the three little ones in front of her, speaking with a slightly guilty expression.

Her purpose in coming to find Su Yan was to confront the terror in her heart, to forcibly drag Su Yan into the woods and consummate their marriage, and to subdue him with the strength of the dominant party, so that he would not dare to act recklessly in front of her.

But upon seeing that Su Yan had someone beside him, and that this person was a direct descendant of his brother clan, the courage that the Qilin Fairy had just mustered vanished. She pretended to have inadvertently noticed something amiss and came over to investigate.

"Senior Fairy Qilin!"

Su Yan turned around, smiled, and greeted Fairy Qilin, saying, "We're searching for treasure here. Senior, would you like to guess if there are any treasures down there?"

"Treasure hunting?"

The Qilin Fairy's lips twitched slightly: "The lake in front of us covers such a vast area that countless beings must have perished here. It must contain treasures, but those things are probably useless to you, right?"

No matter how precious the treasures in the cultivation world are, to this fox who has the Queen Mother of the West behind him, holds the Candle Shadow in his left hand, and touches the back of the Eastern King Duke's hand with his right, the treasures in the lake must be nothing more than worthless things.

Who could be as rich as you, you fox? And you're still eyeing the treasures in the lake.

Su Yan shook his head and said, "The treasure I'm talking about is naturally not those things. Ancient books from Qingqiu Kingdom say that during the struggle between the human and human emperors, the Yellow Emperor killed Chi You here. Chi You fell to the ground and dissolved, turning into a salt flat containing extremely terrifying poison."

Seeing this, the Yellow Emperor had no choice but to give up, picked up Chi You's body and took it back to his hometown, giving this former overlord who had once vied with him for supremacy a dignified burial.

Su Yan slowly began to speak, recounting the origin and history of the lake before him. Of course, the ancient books of the Qingqiu Kingdom did not record such details. They only briefly mentioned that a demon god once fell here, his head turning into a vast expanse of salt flats, and his body was sent back to his hometown by the person who had killed him for burial.

Su Yan knew so much detail because he had spent a long time with Senior Ruonv and was very familiar with the history of human development and struggle for supremacy. He combined this knowledge with the contents of the ancient books of the Qingqiu Kingdom to tell the story of this place.

Su Yan wasn't actually that interested in Chi You's head; he just knew about this story and wanted to pay his respects at the grave of Chi You, the so-called chief demon god of the human race.

If Chi You were to be classified according to the power structure of the human bloodline that Su Yan knew, he should actually be classified under the Daoist lineage of the Dao Sheng family, while the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor belonged to the tribal power lineage.

Chi You was extremely unlucky. His enemy, the Yellow Emperor, was the chosen one, which even prompted Yinglong to intervene and suppress him.

The struggle for the throne in that era had actually ended at the beginning. What the human race needed at that time was to recuperate and develop, not to expand, adventure, and freedom. Only the Yellow Emperor met the conditions, which led Youchao to intervene personally.

Chi You faced a host of top-tier powerful figures, including Yinglong, Jiutian Xuannv, Ruonv, and Bai Ze.

Even with the support of Fuxi, the Holy Spirit forces behind him could not defeat the Yellow Emperor.

In this struggle for the title of Human Emperor, Chiyou lost due to his ideology.

…………

“How could there be Chi You’s head here? Although I did not personally experience the Battle of Zhuolu, I am aware of the forces under Chi You’s command.” The Qilin Fairy shook her head: “Chi You was defeated by the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor was a benevolent ruler. He would not allow the corpse of his former opponent to be left to rot in the wilderness. How could he leave a head here?”

"Hard to say."

Su Yan spoke with a rather strange expression. He knew that behind the Yellow Emperor's killing of Chi You, it was actually Yinglong's mother who personally took action.

Whether in the ancient books of Qingqiu Kingdom or in the words of the elder Ruonv, Chi You's head was missing, and the Yellow Emperor really only sent Chi You's body back to his hometown.

Perhaps Yinglong's mother knew that one day she was bored and wanted to play in the water, so she deliberately buried some treasures here?

"Oh"

The Qilin Fairy shook her head and remained silent; she simply couldn't believe that Chi You's head was here.

The words "fallen demon god" might not be understood by young cultivators.

But in the past, the words "fallen demon god" represented an opportunity to defy fate, top-tier spiritual treasures, and countless chances to change one's bloodline. The fallen body of the demon god symbolized infinite opportunities.
