I have been a saint in the world for three thousand years

The fifth year of Zhenghe.

The war between Dayuan and Taicang is coming to an end.

Although there were still some ministers loyal to the Taicang royal family who were still resisting, they were completely helpless under the trampling of the Yuan Dynasty.

After Emperor Taicang surrendered, Tang Zheng not only did not kill him, but instead made him Duke Kangle, and he still ruled the former capital of Taicang.

The wheel of history rolled on mercilessly, and the Taicang Dynasty was completely wiped out in the long river of history and became a vassal of the Yuan Dynasty.

At Tang Zheng's instruction, the secret of Taicang Iron Cavalry was also sent to his imperial study.

He had heard of the reputation of the Taicang Iron Cavalry a long time ago.

If it weren't for the help of Daozun's golden-armored warriors in the battle of Ningzhou, the Shatuo Kingdom and Taicang Iron Cavalry would have already arrived at the capital.

Now that the Taicang Dynasty has completely surrendered, he naturally has to build a force that is no less powerful than the Taicang Iron Cavalry back then.

Moreover, after the successive annexation of Shatuo and Taicang, the area of ​​the Yuan Dynasty's territory has expanded to rank among the top five among the surrounding dynasties.

What followed was the emergence of a large number of vacant official positions. After Tang Zheng learned about this, he recruited a group of scholars with the talent to be officials and sent them to Taicang to take over the government.

When everything was developing in an orderly manner in the expected direction, Tang Zheng became ambitious and couldn't wait to set his sights on several surrounding dynasties.

"I plan to attack the Ancient Yue Dynasty next. Does Lord Ding have any good advice for me?"

Tang Zheng was in high spirits. He stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the sand table and asking questions to the person next to him.

Standing next to him was a tall, middle-aged man wearing a feather crown and a scarf.

The man's name was Ding Xisheng. He was neither from Taicang nor from the Yuan Dynasty, nor from Shatuo.

According to him, he came from a distant country and traveled all the way to the Yuan Dynasty.

When he discovered the destiny of the Yuan Dynasty, he came to the capital to meet the emperor and said that he could help Tang Zheng achieve the destiny dynasty.

The matter of the destiny of the Yuan Dynasty was of vital importance. The appearance of such a person at this critical juncture would surely make Tang Zheng feel strongly suspicious.

Although Tang Zheng expressed strong doubts about him at the beginning, the great talent and strategy shown by Ding Xisheng made Tang Zheng appreciate his talent.

This person not only has a far-sighted vision, but also has the wisdom to plan and strategize.

The suggestions he put forward regarding the national economy and people's livelihood and military decision-making of the Yuan Dynasty left all the officials in the court speechless. Tang Zheng was very attracted by such talents.

After thinking for a long time, he recruited Ding Xisheng into his team.

If this person really had ulterior motives, what kind of trouble could he cause under the nose of the Taoist Master in the capital of the Great Yuan Dynasty?

If he really came here specifically to support the Yuan Dynasty in becoming a prosperous dynasty, once that happens, it would be no problem for him to be granted titles of nobility and appointed as a general.

Ding Xisheng smiled and said, "My thoughts coincide with your majesty's."

He walked a few steps around the sand table and continued.

"Now that the morale of the Yuan army is at its peak, it is natural that we should fight to support the war and annex all the surrounding dynasties in one fell swoop.

If we stop now, although we can recuperate, if they realize the ambitions of the Yuan Dynasty, they will definitely join hands to form an alliance to resist the Yuan Dynasty.

As long as the Great Yuan successfully becomes a dynasty of destiny, these dynasties will no longer pose any threat to the Great Yuan."

After listening to this, Tang Zheng burst into laughter and became more satisfied with Ding Xisheng.

He immediately issued an order, ordering the army to continue marching towards the ancient Yue Dynasty after resting.

Orders floated out of the capital like snowflakes, flying towards the Yuan army on the expedition.

...

...

February, the beginning of spring.

Inside Fuzhen Temple.

Yan Zheng was sitting under Jianmu and drinking with Yuan Ge. Suddenly he stopped and looked up.

Yan Xiu's gaze penetrated the treetops and locked onto the blue phoenix in mid-air.

He found that Qingluan's aura had become very strange at this moment, and it seemed that she was about to break through.

Yan Xiu immediately stood up and walked out of the courtyard, and Yuan Ge followed him out.

At this time, the blue phoenix emerged from the clouds, hovering above Yan Xiu's head and crying non-stop.

Its body became bigger and bigger, and its wingspan was about ten feet long. The feathers all over its body reflected the sunlight and shone brightly, making it look extraordinary.

Although Yan Xiu and Qingluan were in tune with each other, Yuan Ge had no idea what it was calling out. He could only hear the urgency in its cries.

"Dao Zun, has something happened to this divine bird?" Yuan Ge asked with some concern.

Yan Xiu smiled softly upon hearing this and replied, "It's okay, it's just that Qing Luan is about to break through."

Ever since Qingluan was born, Yan Xiu has been feeding it elixirs, so to speak, he has been feeding it since it was little.

Although this kind of mythical beast has a long lifespan, if it only relies on its own cultivation, it will probably take decades to make further progress.

The only divine beast in the world that can use elixirs to assist in spiritual practice every day is probably the Qingluan of Fuzhen Temple.

After hearing this, Yuan Ge was surprised and marveled.

"Go."

Yan Xiu waved to Qingluan.

He knew that Qingluan came down to say goodbye to him temporarily, and it needed to find a secluded and safe place for its breakthrough this time and could not be disturbed by others.

-

The blue phoenix suddenly let out a loud cry and flew away into the distance.

Seeing this, Yuan Ge hurriedly asked, "Dao Zun, are you so relieved to let the divine bird leave alone?"

Yan Xiu turned around and walked towards the courtyard, saying, "It's okay. No one in the Great Yuan can hurt it."

Although Qingluan has never fought since its birth, it does not mean that it is just a mascot.

According to Yan Xiu's judgment, Qingluan's current strength is roughly equivalent to that of a warrior at the peak of the innate realm.

Even if Qingluan's cultivation level is low and it is no match for a warrior, the mere fact that it can soar in the sky makes it invincible.

Having said that, after Qingluan left, Yan Xiu still attached a wisp of his spiritual consciousness to its feathers.

If Qingluan really encounters danger and is unable to defeat her, he will be able to discover her in time and rescue her.

With the magical power of golden light flying across the earth, even if Qingluan is thousands of miles away, he can reach her in a very short time.

The blue phoenix flew gracefully over the capital, its cry echoing throughout the city, and flew off into the distance. Countless people bowed down in worship in the direction the divine bird had departed.

Those travelers who came to Fuzhen Temple to burn incense for the first time also sighed that they were so lucky that they could see the legendary divine bird Qingluan on their first visit.

The two returned to the courtyard and continued to sit and drink.

"What did you say just now?"

Yan Xiu poured tea for each of them and asked.

Yuan Ge stared at the tea and said slowly: "I want to leave the Great Yuan and go to another dynasty to find an opportunity to break through to the Tiangang realm."

Yan Xiu glanced at him and said nothing.

"Now that the Great Yuan has Dao Zun in charge, I have nothing to worry about. It's time to leave."

Yuan Ge has been trapped in the Tianyuan Realm for many years and has never found an opportunity to break through.

Although he had thought about sparring with Yan Xiu, the idea faded after he saw with his own eyes the Thirteen Ghosts who were powerful enough to crush the entire Great Yuan martial arts world being easily wiped out by Yan Xiu.

What you might get from fighting with such a strong man is probably not an opportunity to break through the bottleneck, but a sense of frustration.
