Chapter 1240: Chapter 681: Lord of All Under Heaven Chapter 1240: Chapter 681: Lord of All Under Heaven Upon hearing Chen Mobai’s words, Jiang Zongheng immediately expanded his vision.
He looked at the vast Donghuang map and felt that nineteen nations were indeed too many and too chaotic.
If there were only one instead, the great unified world he dreamt of in his childhood readings might just be within reach.
“Master, what do I need to do?”
The Eastern Wilderness was on the brink of an unprecedented golden age, a concept historically uncharted, so Jiang Zongheng, overcome with emotion, hastily sought advice on how to begin.
“Although the Eastern Wilderness has never been unified since antiquity, if you look at the entire Eastern Region, it has been done before. What are your own thoughts on this?”
Chen Mobai did have a full plan in mind, but whether he could implement the system of the Immortal Gates in Eastern Wilderness was uncertain, so he also wanted to hear the thoughts of Jiang Zongheng, his local disciple.
Faced with the Donghuang map before him, Jiang Zongheng thought for a while and said:
“Throughout history, the unification of the world always required a mighty ruler who could end the chaos. As a disciple, I am willing to journey through the Mortal World to find this person and support him to become the lord of all under heaven.”
This had been Jiang Zongheng’s wish ever since he became enlightened and was the best conclusion he could draw based on all the dynastic history of the Tianhe Realm he knew.
“If that is the case, Zongheng, go to the Mortal Realm and fulfill this great aspiration. You have the talent for managing worldly affairs, and I believe you can achieve this.”
Chen Mobai knew that reform could always only go a step further; if he proposed from the start that worldly dynasties were unnecessary, and cultivators should rule the Mortal World instead, many people would probably think him a madman.
The sages of the Dao Morale Sect in the Eastern Earth Holy Land believed that the best system for this world was for the Mortal World to have its own dynasties and for the great Immortal Sect families to silently cultivate in seclusion within their Spirit Veins, hidden from the world.
Only when a natural catastrophe occurred would cultivators intervene, guiding the mortal dynasties through calamity.
If fate had truly run its course, then they would change dynasties and start anew!
In this way, the mortal remains mortal, and the immortal remains immortal.
The isolation of mortal and immortal is the law of Heaven!
The Dao Morale Sect governed with this philosophy, producing Divinity Transformation Sages generation after generation.
Chen Mobai decided to proceed according to the rules of the Tianhe Realm for now, as the main goal was to unify Eastern Wilderness.
With the sheer aim of creating a lord of all under heaven, at least on the surface, there was a reason to take the twelve nations not affiliated with Divine Wood Sect into his fold.
If after the unification of Eastern Wilderness, the mortal dynasties couldn’t establish a peaceful and prosperous world, then Chen Mobai would be ready to advocate for the Immortal Gate system here.
“Yes, Master!”
Jiang Zongheng took the order and departed; three days later, he left Northern Abyss City with three scrolls in hand.
Since Chen Mobai, as the head of the academy, was present, the Longevity Academy didn’t need his oversight, so Jiang Zongheng left with ease.
He first visited the Rock Country to meet the local Zhao dynasty.
The Zhaos had long reigned over the highlands, known for their bravery, and among them, Zhao Zheng, King Zhao’s eldest son, deeply admired the Immortal Sect and had lived outside Northern Abyss City for ten years.
It was a pity Zhao Zheng lacked the Spiritual Root Talent; after seeking immortality for ten years and failing to enter the Immortal City, he had to leave dejectedly to inherit the throne.
On hearing of the arrival of an Immortal Master, Zhao Zheng immediately welcomed him with great courtesy.
Zhao Zheng was tall and mighty, his face resolute, his gaze piercing. Although his pursuit of immortality was not fulfilled, he nonetheless cultivated his mundane martial art to peak mastery, achieving Innate Extreme at a young age and earning the title of ‘Martial Monarch.’
In the presence of Jiang Zongheng, the towering Zhao Zheng was respectful, paying him a disciple’s homage.
“Immortal, is it truly impossible to seek immortality without a Spiritual Root?”
Upon their meeting, Zhao Zheng asked a question that rendered Jiang Zongheng silent.
“If there are heavenly and earthly treasures, even a mortal could develop a Spiritual Root through consumption and refinement.”
Jiang Zongheng shared what he knew, and after hearing this, Zhao Zheng’s eyes lit up as he immediately inquired about the required treasures.
“Your Majesty, such heavenly and earthly treasures can only be attained by those with great Fate, and even if one manages to get hold of them, the mortal body is unable to withstand it.”
Jiang Zongheng’s words caused Zhao Zheng’s brows to furrow tightly, but he remained unwilling to give up, displaying his Mortal World’s ultimate martial prowess.
“With my physical body, is it still insufficient?”
“Your Majesty, any heavenly and earthly treasures capable of cultivating a Spiritual Root have been nurtured by the world for tens of thousands of years. Not to mention you, even if I were to consume them, it would require my Master’s intervention for successful refinement.”
Jiang Zongheng’s words rekindled hope in Zhao Zheng.
“Immortal Master, if I were to find such treasures, could I request assistance from your Master?”
This question once again plunged Jiang Zongheng into silence. However, considering King Zhao’s bravery, he indeed could be the mighty ruler capable of unifying Eastern Wilderness. Thus, he offered hope.
“If Your Majesty can become the lord of Eastern Wilderness, then you will be granted an audience with my Master.”
As Jiang Zongheng spoke these words, the entire hall fell silent!
Aside from King Zhao, the ministers of the Zhao royal family were also in attendance. Their dream was merely to retain their humble portion of land in Rock Country.
After all, with the power of Immortal Sects behind the nineteen nations of the Eastern Wilderness, even if their mortal forces were formidable, they could never withstand a Flying Sword.
In the history of Eastern Wilderness, many ambitious monarchs were beheaded by cultivators descending from the heavens, even amidst tens of thousands of troops.
