Chapter 72: Past Its Prime

t be that the hateful little fat man from Chong Xuan had laid other traps Was everything truly flawless"Who are you" he asked.“Don't ask that question.” Yin Guan's long hair danced in the wind as he d...Wang Kun left and did not appear in Taixu Pavilion again.

Jiang Wang's attitude was extremely mild, but he truly realized that things could not be reversed—it was a kind of determination more enduring than if Dou Zhao had wanted to kill him hundreds of thousands of times. Jing Guo needed to constantly show its peculiarity to demonstrate its superior status, but this uniqueness was no longer permitted—or rather, it was still tolerated with gritted teeth in most cases. However, in the completely new force and environment of Tai Xu Pavilion, the younger prodigies were more radical than those older generations of powerhouses.

They are a group of people who think they are better than others.

They are all the most gifted in the world, all winners from a young age. Who would ever be willing to yield to another

When Wang Kun left Tai Xu Pavilion, all the top experts from various peaks in Tai Xu Mountain had dispersed. This place, the Bagua Platform, this mountain gate, in a sense, had already completely belonged to Tai Xu Pavilion.

The Tai Xu Pavilion is located in the mortal world's headquarters, and no one from all directions should enter after this.

The members of the Taixu Pavilion hold the highest authority in this place. The Taixu Jade can control all the formations here.

Of course, the people participating in the activities here are all underlings of the Tai Xu Pavilion.

Because Li Yi is the Zhengyin True Person of Daluo Mountain, but Wang Kun, who actually handles Taixu Pavilion's affairs, is cultivating on Penglai Island. Therefore, the subordinates summoned by Jing Guo are all from Mie Nan Army—in Jing Ba Jia, Mie Nan and Zhu Mo have always been controlled by Penglai Island cultivators. This also shows that Li Yi never intended to show up from beginning to end. He just hung up his name.

But this name, it has to be him.

Only if Li Yi enters the cabinet can Jing Guo maintain its dignity.

Even Chun Yu Gui, who was once hailed as the double pride of Jianghu alongside Zhao Xuan Yang, found himself unable to match Jiang Wang and Dou Zhao, both masters who had attained enlightenment before the age of thirty. After all, even Qin Guo patiently waited for three years for Qin Zhi Zhen to achieve enlightenment before appointing Huang Bu Dong as a minister.

As for the younger Chen Suan, he has already lost to Jiang Wang. In the foreseeable future, there is no possibility of him winning back in a direct confrontation. Jing Guo cannot place a Tianjiao who is clearly inferior to his opponent in such a situation where comparisons are constantly made. For thirty years like this, it would be detrimental to both Chen Suan and Jing Guo.

As soon as Wang Kun came out, immediately his subordinates stepped forward: "Wang Sishi······"

The disheartened Wang Kun stood on the platform beneath "All Living Beings". Looking at the ninety-nine steps now, he felt a deeper sense of sorrow—was he not also "beneath all living beings" within Taixu Pavilion

The ability to tread upon the divine realm as a stepping stone is solely due to wearing the tiger skin of Jing Guo. But once people no longer care about that tiger skin, and the weakness and cowardice veiled by the aura of dominance so painfully pierce the soul.

Those under the command of other members also silently walked over, ready to greet.

But the only one who came out was Wang Kun...

"Don't talk about anything else. Time is of the essence, find a quiet place, I need to contact the Taoist priest immediately." Wang Kun quickly adjusted his mindset. The humiliation of today was not his fault. He had fought bravely and hadn't lost face for Jing Guo. As a vast nation like Jing, rewards and punishments are clear. Because the higher-ups misjudged the situation in Taixu Pavilion, he was humiliated, which should be compensated."

As the earthly headquarters of the Tai Xu Pavilion, where members and their subordinates resided permanently, different quarters for pavilion members had already been built while Wang Kun personally experienced the sharpness of Tianxiao's sword—except for Jiang member.

Brush aside the thick clouds and mist, and you will see its outline. The flying eaves and corner turrets, the tall pavilions and ornate halls, shine through time and space like a fairyland palace.

To showcase the depth of various factions' power, these buildings were all designed by renowned master architects, starting early and displaying their unique talents. They were practically moved in on the day they entered office, making only slight adjustments to adapt to Taixu Mountain.

Structures built over three years by various powers would be remarkable anywhere in the world.

For example, the splendor of the Feng Hua Dian frequented by members of the Chongxuan Pavilion.

Qin Zhizhen's West Pole Platform. Dou Zhao's highest tower. Huang Sheli's Wanhu Palace. Cangming's abandoned temple. Zhong Xuan's Dao Bi Pavilion. Ju Kui's Five Punishments Tower.

And the State of Jing... directly moved a whole city! Calling it "Under Heaven."

So-called "heavenly city," the only person in the world is Li Yi.

Once upon a time, Wang Kun looked at this majestic and imposing city, his mind filled with visions of himself as the master. Li Yi only planned to put his name on it; after all, wasn't everything under the Taixu Pavilion's name still owned by him, Wang Kun

Everything a member of the Tai Xu Pavilion could enjoy was far superior to what he could have obtained through the intense competition in Jing Guo's intricate and complex environment.

So before he came, he was already prepared and knew that things might not go smoothly at first. He would use nothing more than intimidation and the facade of national strength, leveraging his mature political skills to maneuver slowly over a long period, gradually seizing power and securing his position—only to find that it wouldn't even get started.

They are barbarians!

Unconcerned with admiring the magnificence of the city, Wang Kun leaped into it and entered his manor. He activated the communication formation and soon heard the voice of the Southern Celestial Master— "It's over so quickly"

"Wasn't the First Virtual Conference mainly about nothing tangible"

"It hasn't started yet." When reporting, Wang Kun remained emotionless and concise: "Dou Zhao used force to prevent me from joining the meeting. He also said that they would only give us one minute. If Tai Yu Zhenren doesn't arrive, they will leave Tai Yu Zhenren behind. The Script Vault still has a rule: if you miss more than three meetings in a year, they will impeach Tai Xu Daozhu and request the removal of the cabinet member."

Nantian Shi's voice only asked, "Can one not kill in Tai Xu Ge"

Wang Kun involuntarily bowed his head: "We have entered the Tai Xu Illusionary Realm in our true forms, moving under the gaze of the Tai Xu Dao Master."

"These people are still young and naive, they haven't seen the complexities of the world. Knowing that the celestial beings are close at hand and there is no major war in the mortal realm right now, they behave so recklessly······ Our duty is to bear the responsibility for the entire world, we must always consider the bigger picture. You have already done what you can." The South Heavenly Master said this with finality, then added: "The True Person of Taiyu has a solitary and cold disposition, he excels in swordsmanship, it's hard for him to put his heart into Taixu Pavilion."

He asked, "Based on your observations at Taixu Pavilion, how do you think we should react to this matter Should the court order Taiyu Zhenren to do something, or let Taiyu Zhenren decide for himself"

Wang Kun's heart was filled with a thousand thoughts. He wanted to draw his sword and fight Dou Zhao right there on the spot, but in the end, he only said: "In my opinion, all the current members of Tai Xu Ge have distinct personalities······ It's best to leave how to interact with them up to Master Tai Yu himself."

"Xu San! You're here again!"

By the mountain path, the old peach tree swayed its branches, with a hint of disdain in its movement, yet also a touch of familiarity.

Xu San, with a green gourd suspended from his waist, materialized from the sword light, a look of exasperation on his face: "Who else would it be if not someone who came out of Daluo Mountain Every time something like this happens, they call me to run errands!"

He was still researching Taoism at the Sanfen Xiangqi Building, and then someone pulled him out of bed and threw him to the front of the mountain. Where could he go to argue. However, with information missing, Jiang Wang found it difficult to piece together a complete understanding. All he knew was that it was somehow related to someone called "Over-the-Sea."In the end o...
