Chapter 1263: Chapter 507: The Earth-Sky Connection Secret
[Your identity has been arranged. Five days later at 3 p.m., arrive at Guard City No. 3 in Eight Desolate City on the Galaxy Battlefield, then contact me. Someone will arrange a meeting.]
The message from the Emperor of Dahong was extremely brief, containing only the date and location.
There was no further detail on identity or methods for passing through.
[Emperor, what specific identity has been arranged? Can you reveal a bit in advance? I need to confirm if this identity is suitable.] Xu Jin replied through Starlight Transmission.
[It meets your requirements, offering a certain degree of freedom and power, and aligns with your Cultivation Level. You’ll understand when you arrive. But if you wish to question it, this discussion cannot proceed. Or perhaps, once you break through to the Seventh Tier, you can see me about a more free role.]
[Understood. I will arrive on time in five days.]
After a brief contemplation, Xu Jin responded affirmatively.
In terms of specific identity, Xu Jin didn’t have much autonomy.
Furthermore, Cultivation Level is a highly critical influencing factor.
Whether in the present world, on the Galaxy Battlefield, or among alien races, the level of authority is directly tied to one’s Cultivation Level.
If the Cultivation Level is insufficient, forcing oneself into a high-level position often introduces significant risk, and the authority is greatly diminished.
Though Xu Jin currently has the combat power of a Seventh Tier Ninth Layer Peak, his Cultivation Level is only at the Sixth Tier Ninth Layer Peak.
He can only agree for now and adapt as he goes along.
With five days until arrival, a trip to Eight Desolate City on the Galaxy Battlefield would take at least three days.
This means Xu Jin needs to act immediately.
With this thought, Xu Jin headed straight to Pill Dawn Palace, as it was still necessary to consult with the State Preceptor on some matters.
*****
In the Dahong Imperial Palace, after contacting Xu Jin, the Emperor of Dahong put away the Mandarin Duck Seal, lost in thought.
The Emperor remained silent, while Grand Steward Wei Zhong stood quietly nearby.
After a long pause, the Emperor of Dahong finally spoke, "My dear companion, what identity should we arrange for Xu Jin? Is it in the Judicial Hall or the Household Hall?
The positions available are only in these two halls, which are crucial for my control over the Blood God Sect. We can’t afford any mishaps in either of them.
It’s truly difficult to decide."
Upon hearing the term ’my dear companion’, Wei Zhong changed his expression.
Having been with the Emperor of Dahong for many years, he knew that being called ’my dear companion’ meant the Emperor truly wanted his advice.
"Emperor, actually, you made a decision yesterday."
"How so?"
"Emperor, yesterday, when you were strategizing this matter, you mentioned that the Household Hall is under scrutiny by the Left and Right Protectors. Any mistake could lead to a loss of control.
However, the Judicial Hall, that’s where we monitor others.
Even if there’s a mistake or an unexpected event, it likely occurs elsewhere and impacts others rather than us, making it easy to remedy."
At this point, Wei Zhong paused and added, "Your Majesty, this Xu Jin can also be used to our advantage."
"How so?"
"Your Majesty, it’s like using one faction to suppress another within the court. Xu Jin, though possessing the Cultivation Level of the late Sixth Tier, has the combat power of the late Seventh Tier, something only we know.
The protectors and elders in Blood Moon City are unaware of this.
If we use this to our advantage, it might bring benefits to Your Majesty."
Hearing this, the Emperor of Dahong nodded, "I’ve indeed thought of this! But I’m worried about causing trouble; Blood Moon City is too far from me."
"That’s true! Although they have several Eighth Tier guardians there, compared to Your Majesty, they fall far short and still require Your Majesty’s command." Wei Zhong said.
"It will have to be this way."
After the exchange, the Emperor of Dahong finally made a firm decision.
Faced with the two wavering positions, he made a final choice.
"My dear companion, how is the progress on that matter?"
"Your Majesty, it’s still in preparation. The control over some courtiers can’t be too hasty.
Also, for those inheriting important positions, they need to be covertly influenced individually in different ways. This ensures future control over the court easily.
More time is needed," Wei Zhong said.
"Then focus on it.
Once Xu Jin enters Blood Mountain City, our time of safety will be limited.
Unfortunately, we still don’t know Xu Jin’s true purpose in heading to Blood Moon City." the Dahong Emperor remarked.
"The current intelligence cannot deduce that.
But as Your Majesty has often said, to understand someone’s true intentions, we must watch their actions, not their words.
This servant believes that once Xu Jin reaches Blood Moon City, he will inevitably act.
In time, we will be able to analyze his true purpose.
In that case, we can roughly estimate Your Majesty’s safe timeline and the final action deadline," Wei Zhong said.
"Indeed! Keep a close watch on this matter."
"Your servant obeys!"
*****
Great Chen National Daoist School, Pill Dawn Palace.
"Eight Desolate City and Guard City No. 3 are newly constructed cities on the Eight Desolate Frontline of the Galaxy Battlefield, built in preparation for the battle, but the builder and owner of Guard City No. 3 belong to Dachu, unrelated to Dahong.
My personal suggestion is that you should be cautious on your journey.
However, finding evidence or leverage of the Dahong Emperor colluding with the enemy, or discovering his inside agents along the way, is practically impossible.
The Dahong Emperor has maintained control over Dahong’s politics for over sixty years under the heavy pressure of Tianyang Star Lord and has allowed Dahong’s national power to rise continuously, which is no simple task.
