Chapter 54: Secular Imperial Power
According to legend, the Four Elephant Continent is a world carried on its back by four ancient divine beasts.
These four ancient divine beasts are Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Xuanwu. Among them, Qinglong is the east; White Tiger is the west; Vermillion Bird is the south; Xuanwu is the north.
Daxia, Daqi, as well as the grassland royal court, and more than a dozen countries of all sizes are located in the east of the Four Symbol Continent.
Therefore, this place is also called "Qinglong Continent". Dragon is naturally the guardian beast of this continent.
This is also the reason why Zhao Hongzhi, the seventh elder of the Changsheng Tian, was so afraid that he would expose the stolen wind-winged dragon eggs. Because once this incident was reported, everyone on the entire Qinglong Continent would not forgive him!
Although Changshengtian is a top sect on the Qinglong Continent and is considered a top-notch sect in the entire Four Symbol Continent, he also dare not arouse public anger in such matters. So he will definitely not offend everyone on the Qinglong Continent for just one Zhao Hongzhi.
The sect is above all else. This is actually the case whether it is in the Qinglong Continent or the entire Four Symbol Continent.
People in the sect also regard themselves as cultivators and as people in the immortal path. Although there has been no news of ascension for too many years, the status of the sect has never been shaken.
This has also caused many people who have entered the sect to look down on the world, despise the imperial power, and look down on everything in the world after leaving the sect.
It seems that this is true. Even the children of the royal family will give them considerable respect when they see those who come from the sect. Generally, people from the sect cause trouble in the secular world, even if they cause major disasters, they will usually turn a big deal into small things.
After all, the influence of sects in the secular world is quite terrible.
But in fact... are sects and secular worlds really two worlds that have no intersection at all?
This is obviously a wrong view!
No matter how powerful the sect is, the ones living in it are not real gods! They cannot reach the level of fasting, they still need to eat, drink, defecate, and all kinds of resources!
Where do you get these things? Self-sufficient?
Actually that is impossible!
Self-sufficient can only allow these sects to survive at most, but they will never have a decent life!
They are not real gods, they are also humans! If they are humans, they have seven emotions and six desires, and they also need dignity and dignity to live.
So, what should I do?
The royal family in the secular world naturally becomes the best choice.
If people in the sect want to practice, they need to use a large amount of Yuan stones to practice. Where does Yuan stone come from? Do they rely solely on the Yuan stone veins occupied by the sect? No matter how large Yuan stone ore is, it will always be hollowed out one day.
No matter how strong a sect is, it is impossible for it to occupy all the Yuanshi ore veins in the world. After all, there will be some Yuanshi ore veins that are occupied by secular forces.
These forces are basically all controlled by the secular royal family!
In addition to these, there are too many, many intersections of sects and secular worlds. Of course, ordinary people cannot see these at all, nor can they understand them.
But Jiang Qiuyang is different. He is a disciple of the sect, but he is even a royal family member in the secular world! He is a prince with extremely respected status... and he may even become the prince!
But deep down, Jiang Qiuyang, who spent his childhood, childhood, and youth in the sects... until he became an adult in his twenties, did look down on secular imperial power.
This is also the fundamental reason why the matter of the northern grassland is so important, but he focused more on the legend of the Immortal Palace. In his opinion, a small grassland, in front of his disciples like him, can be easily crushed!
Even if he is to his father, the king of Daqi! Before today, Jiang Qiuyang was more of the respect his son had for his father, not the respect for the imperial power!
Because he has always forgotten one thing, that is: how did he enter the sect to practice!
I even forget that when he was in the sect, his master once mentioned something unexpectedly: He had a master uncle who was once a deacon in the sect. Because it was difficult to make any breakthroughs in his cultivation, he was tired of the hard life in the sect. So he asked the sect to enter the secular world. It was very likely that he stayed in the royal family of the Great Qi and became a worshiper.
Jiang Qiuyang was a little disdainful at the time. His master's uncle was his uncle. It was difficult to break through his cultivation level... he would definitely not be very strong.
As a result, he was severely taught by his master at that time and said, "What do you know? Your uncle's strength is much higher than mine!" That height may be something you will never reach in your life. What qualifications do you have to laugh at him?"
Jiang Qiuyang felt it was difficult to understand at that time. Since that uncle of the master was so powerful, why was he greedy for the world? Aren’t the things in the world supposed to be abandoned by people in practice?
He still remembered that his master just shook his head and smiled, saying that one day you become the emperor of Daqi, if you can say these words again, then the master will look at you differently.
This incident has actually been more than ten years since then. Jiang Qiuyang was still a teenager. So he had long forgotten about this incident.
Today, he was severely taught a lesson by his father for a long time, and then at the end, he said that sentence to him coldly, and the plain voice of the golden palace that only heard the sound of his voice but could not see him. Jiang Qiuyang suddenly remembered the incident back then.
"This... is this my uncle?" Jiang Qiuyang looked at his father who was standing there with a kingly aura. For some reason, he suddenly felt that the father he had never taken seriously had suddenly become a little taller.
"Why? Someone mentioned to you?" With this plain voice, a young old man who looked only in his fifties, dressed in gray cloth clothes, was dry and unpretentious, appeared in front of Jiang Qiuyang. He looked at him with interest.
"Xianghe Palace... Jiang Qiuyang, the 73rd generation disciple, has met uncle of the master!" Jiang Qiuyang has always been kneeling there, so he would not kneel again, and he honestly saluted the inconspicuous little old man.
But in my heart, I felt a lot of doubt: This is what the master said back then... Uncle Master, who was tired of the hardship of the sect, and then devoted himself to the world? Why do I seem to have neither fresh clothes nor angry horses nor wives and concubines... What is the difference between this and the sect?
The old man looked at Jiang Qiuyang with a smile and said meaningfully: "Young man, this path of cultivation is not easy to walk. If I were you and had such conditions, either be an idle prince and practice wholeheartedly; or... think carefully about how to be a wise monarch. Hey... you are very lucky, not only relying on the sect, but also with a royal background, cherish it!"
After saying this, the old man flashed and disappeared in front of Jiang Qiuyang. Jiang Qiuyang didn't even see clearly how this uncle, the first time meeting, disappeared. Only a shock was left in his eyes.
At this time, Jiang Hengyu, the king of the Great Qi, directly asked the ministers to retreat, leaving only Jiang Qiuyang, kneeling there alone.
Jiang Hengyu returned to the dragon throne, looked at Jiang Qiuyang lightly for a while before speaking, "Get up."
Jiang Qiuyang slowly stood up, lowered his head, and said nothing.
Jiang Hengyu looked at his favorite son in front of him and said lightly: "I'm very curious, how could such a powerful person be an envoy in the secular palace, right?"
"Yes, the master said back then that Uncle Master was tired of the hardship of the sect, and had no hope of breaking through, and wanted to return to the world..." Jiang Qiuyang answered honestly.
"Haha, tired of the hardships of the sect? You are really... naive!" Jiang Hengyu sneered a few times: "Do you know that although Mr. Sun lives in the palace, he is not greedy for alcohol and not lustful, and he practices hard every day!"
"Ah!" Although Jiang Qiuyang had guessed before, he was surprised to hear his father's confirmation in person: "Then why..."
Jiang Hengyu couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that you didn't listen to what Mr. Sun said to you just now. No wonder you, your conditions are so good! You have never lacked the resources for cultivation since you were a child, so it is normal for you not to understand."
As he said that, Jiang Hengyu stood up and walked slowly to his son. Looking at his son who was half a head taller than him, Jiang Hengyu raised his hand and patted his son's shoulder: "Young man, you are leaning on the royal family behind you! The royal family's resources are always available for you. Mr. Sun does not. Although Xianghe Palace is not inferior to the great sect of immortality, the resources are still unknown after all! Mr. Sun is not a genius of cultivation and does not have such a great power. Why should he ask for a large amount of resources from Xianghe Palace to practice?"
Jiang Qiuyang looked at his father in amazement. This was the first time he heard these words. He had never thought about these things before.
"Do you really think that the large amount of resources you consumed in the Xianghe Palace from childhood to adulthood are provided to you by Xianghe Palace? Are you the kind of genius who can make them spend a lot of resources regardless of everything? Although I hope you are,... you are not!" Jiang Hengyu walked over Jiang Qiuyang and said lightly: "The resources you consume over the years are all the great Qi Kingdom, the power of the whole country, and are dedicated to Xianghe Palace. Moreover, the ones you consume are probably less than one percent. Now, do you understand what secular imperial power is?"
After saying this, Jiang Hengyu left alone.
In the Golden Palace, Jiang Qiuyang was the only one left, standing there like a statue.
His father's last words continued to echo in his ears: "Now, do you understand what secular imperial power is?"
"Do you understand what secular imperial power is?"
"What is secular imperial power?"
"Semitic imperial power!"
After a long time, a bright light suddenly burst out from Jiang Qiuyang's confused eyes, and he shouted: "Father... I understand!"
At this time, an old eunuch walked out of the darkness of the Golden Palace, looked at Jiang Qiuyang with a respectful look and said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty has told you, if you really understand, you will go to the border guard camp in Daxia tomorrow to report. Start with a soldier, there... maybe within a few years, maybe a year, or maybe faster... there will be a war."
"Your Majesty asked you to think about it. If you don't understand it, think about it carefully. If it really doesn't work, you can go back to Xianghe Palace. Anyway, you won't lack the resources for cultivation."
The old eunuch said lightly, then looked at Jiang Qiuyang.
Jiang Qiuyang shook his head: "I will go to the border guard camp tomorrow to report and tell my father that I have figured it out and figured it out! I want the imperial power of Daqi to cover the entire Qinglong Continent!"
The old eunuch smiled with relief, nodded, and quietly retreated, as if he had never appeared before.
Jiang Qiuyang's eyes were filled with fighting spirit, and he clenched his fists tightly: "I understand what imperial power is! I understand the benefits of power! Master, you are right, I lost and failed to give you a different look! I am not a god, I once claimed to be noble. But in the future... I won't be able to do it!"

The story needs to be progressive layer by layer. Although this chapter seems to have nothing to do with Chu Xiaohei, careful students should find that it actually has a lot to do!
This chapter is equivalent to revealing the overture of the secular chapter!!
In other words, the wheel inside started to turn!!
Hahahaha, that's it. The first volume of this book, the Four Elephant Continent, officially unveiled its veil.
Without power, how can there be power? Without power, where can the resources come from? Without resources, what kind of cultivation should be used? Will you absorb air?
Our Chu Xiaohei is about to return to China when studying abroad. Although he is studying in an unknown pheasant university, he can't resist the professor's greatness!
So, the story of the future will be more exciting!
Chapter completed!
