Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

What King Hao Ling said seemed to make some sense, but Hao Ling Jiuyao felt that something was wrong. After thinking for a while, she finally found the problem. She admired King Hao Ling's selflessness, but she felt that things had not reached that point yet, so she couldn't help asking:

"Father, although I can inherit the surname of Hao Ling and accept the identity of the princess, I am not from the Hao Ling family after all, and my own ability and talent are not enough to take on the responsibility of the Hao Ling Kingdom. But Anian is still young, and her future has unlimited possibilities. Why can't you give it a try and train Anian?"

After thinking about it, there is another person with the bloodline of Hao Ling clan, Rushou. The ability and character of Rushou are trustworthy to King Hao Ling. "Even if Anian doesn't have time to train him, what about Rushou? Rushou is my aunt's son. Although he was born in the Qinglong tribe, he has half of the bloodline of Hao Ling clan. Why don't you even consider him and directly recognize brother Xuan?"

In fact, what Hao Ling Jiu Yao really wanted to ask was, when he saw Xuan unify the Great Wilderness in the future, would King Hao Ling really be willing to see Hao Ling Kingdom disappear? Since the Great Wilderness will eventually be unified, why can't Hao Ling Kingdom be the master of the Great Wilderness?

Seeing Hao Ling Jiu Yao's puzzled expression, King Hao Ling couldn't help but laugh, "Father has considered these things, but it's too late to deal with them now."

"Haoling is a country of abundant resources and a prosperous people. Its national strength is slightly better than that of Chenrong in the past. The reason why Xiyan chose Chenrong to start the war was actually because of the serious internal conflicts in Chenrong. At that time, King Chenrong used Chichen, who had no connection with the Chenrong clan, to attack the corrupt clan that hindered the progress of Chenrong. Although it caused a lot of bloodshed, in fact, if Chichen succeeded in this matter, it would only benefit Chenrong."

"It's a pity that Chi Chen didn't get the strong support from King Chen Rong from the beginning to the end, or maybe the surviving clans were too afraid of Chi Chen and united firmly, which has threatened King Chen Rong's rule. In short, Chi Chen's death on the battlefield is already a very good ending."

"And Hao Ling actually has the same concerns as Chen Rong did back then. However, those people have been keeping to themselves all these years because of their father's merits in killing five kings after ascending the throne. Therefore, Hao Ling does not have the conditions to cleanse the clan for the time being."

"But Xiyan is different. After the king of Xiyan founded the country, he first eliminated all the power of the Xiling clan in the country. Xiyan no longer has a clan worth mentioning. In recent years, the annexed land and people of Chenrong have been completely absorbed. As one grows stronger, the other loses. Haoling is actually a little weaker."

Hao Ling Jiuyao did not expect that the Hao Ling Kingdom was also plagued by internal and external troubles. No wonder King Hao Ling did not train his own princess and clan members, but instead valued a hostage from another country. It turned out that King Hao Ling had long been preparing a way out for the Hao Ling people and the Hao Ling family.

At this point, Hao Ling Jiu Yao no longer had any objection to the coming-of-age ceremony that announced her return and identity. Instead, she took the initiative to remind King Hao Ling, "Then father, please don't forget to send invitations to the two masters of the academy. Although the two of them have been staying in the academy most of the time, the second master actually likes to travel around the world. Especially since the two of them have profound cultivation, no matter where they go in the Great Wilderness, they can arrive in one or two hours."

King Hao Ling did not expect that Hao Ling Jiuyao seemed to be loyal and did not understand politics very well, but was so decisive when it came to making decisions. While he was happy for Hao Ling Jiuyao, he could not help but raise the level of the ceremony. He really could not help but invite all the well-known clans in the Great Wilderness to watch the ceremony.

King Hao Ling persuaded Hao Ling Jiu Yao, and then ordered Rushou to personally supervise the ceremony of Hao Ling Jiu Yao, and asked Rushou to hold it at a slower pace than the ceremony of his wedding with Xiling Heng. He also said that he would invite all the clans in Dahuang, and especially asked Rushou to personally deliver invitations to the two deans of the academy.

Rushou originally didn't agree with King Haoling making such a big fuss, but after hearing that King Haoling was going to deliver the invitation in person, he no longer had any doubts and simply withdrew from King Haoling. He grabbed a maid and asked her clearly about Haolingyi's visit to Xuan again, and felt somewhat disappointed.

Hao Ling Jiuyao's homecoming ceremony and coming-of-age ceremony were indeed held in a grand manner, and even the King of Xiyan had received an invitation. However, it was impossible for him to easily leave Xiyan to celebrate for a junior. Of course, because Hao Ling Jiuyao was the daughter of General Ji of the King of Xiyan, the gift could not be light.

Of course, the four major clans in the Central Plains also received invitations. The Fangfeng clan was one of the six clans under the four major clans, so naturally they also received an invitation.

It's just that the eldest son of Fangfeng clan leader Fangfeng Xiaoguai unfortunately passed away. Now the only male heir is Fangfeng Bei, who was transformed by Xiangliu, and the only daughter is Fangfeng Yiying, who is plotting against Tushan clan. No one wants to miss such a grand ceremony in Haoling Kingdom, so Fangfeng Xiaoguai simply sent letters to Fangfeng Bei and Fangfeng Yiying, asking them to represent Fangfeng clan to visit Haoling Kingdom.

The Tushan clan was originally supposed to be represented by Tushan Hou, and Tushan Hou himself very much hoped to take this opportunity to step forward and send a signal to the outside world that he would inherit the Tushan clan. However, although Old Lady Tushan acquiesced to what Tushan Hou had done to Tushan Jing, she did not want Tushan Hou to easily take control of the Tushan clan. So she asked Fangfeng Yiying to go on the trip on her behalf, on the grounds that Fangfeng Yiying was a female relative and Tushan Jing's fiancée.

Although Fangfeng Yiying was not very satisfied that she was making this trip in the name of Old Lady Tushan, when she was away from home, there were some things that did not need to be said out loud. After all, the situation was more favorable to her, so she refused again and again, and finally had to "obey the order because she could not refuse."

As for the Chishui clan, Chen Rongyi saw how much King Haoling valued the princess and wanted to ask for her hand in marriage for his son Chishui Fenglong. The best thing was that the princess had the royal blood of both Haoling and Xiyan. In this wilderness, only she was worthy of Fenglong in terms of bloodline.

Also, because Chen Rongyi felt guilty about his daughter Chen Rong Xinyue being held as a hostage, Chen Rong Xinyue went out with Chishui Fenglong this time.

The Xiling clan was dwindling in numbers, especially because of the Xiling Lei incident which had dealt a heavy blow to the Xiling clan, so the Xiling clan only planned to send gifts and had no intention of attending.

The Guifang clan was only close to the Tushan clan and had not traveled much in the Great Wilderness in the past. So, like the Xiling clan, they only planned to send gifts, but no one would attend.

But after Rushou went to the academy in person to deliver an invitation and received the news that the two deans of the academy would attend the ceremony of their disciples Hao Ling and Jiu Yao, those clans that had originally only planned to send gifts all sent people to Hao Ling in person. Everyone wanted to see what kind of deans these two deans, who had been in the academy for quite some time but were already as famous as the Queen Mother of Jade Mountain, were like.

As soon as Rushou came back, King Haoling couldn't wait to pull him aside to ask about the news of the two deans of the academy.

Rushou was unusually serious, and replied solemnly, "I have never had the honor to meet the Queen Mother of Jade Mountain, but I have heard that she has a cold temperament, dislikes music, and is a complete secluded cultivator."

"As for the two deans of the academy, I could not see their true faces clearly. It was as if there was always a cloud covering their faces. When I used my spiritual power to look again, I felt a sharp pain in my eyes. If the two deans had not healed me in time, I would have lost my eyes!"

Upon hearing this, King Hao Ling lost his composure. "I have only heard that the ancient true gods have divine barriers that forbid people to see their true appearance. If the two of you in the academy are really as you said, then their origins must be really great!"

Although Ruoshou had never heard of the saying of divine barrier, Jiang Xinxin and Shi Ying's cultivation was like a mountain. Ruoshou would only elevate their status infinitely. "Now, no matter how extraordinary the origins of the two gods are, our Queen Ji is a famous student of the academy. We Hao Ling may not have no chance to rule the world."
