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

In just one year, Tang Zheng annexed all the territories of the seven dynasties and incorporated them into the Yuan Dynasty.

At this point, the Yuan army stopped its expansion and concentrated its strength on internal digestion.

Compared with the previously annexed Taicang and Shatuo Kingdoms, the territories of these seven dynasties really gave Tang Zheng both a surprise and a headache.

What is surprising is that after annexing the territories of seven dynasties, the Yuan Dynasty became one of the three dynasties with the largest territories among the surrounding dynasties, expanding from the original fifteen states to seventy-nine states.

Intimidated by the Dao Zun's reputation, the surrounding dynasties probably did not dare to covet the Yuan Dynasty's territory. Even a powerful country like the Dongyun Dynasty would have to think twice if it wanted to attack.

After all, they don't have the ability like Dao Zun to easily wipe out millions of troops.

The headache is that the Yuan Dynasty obviously does not have enough talents. Taicang and Shatuo Kingdom alone have emptied the Yuan Dynasty's talent pool.

Tang Zheng listened to Ding Xisheng's advice and recruited many talented people to serve as officials in the original seven dynasties.

As expected, not long after the imperial edict was issued, a large number of great scholars and strategists came to respond.

As time went by, the Yuan Dynasty's national strength grew and became prosperous.

In the imperial study room.

Tang Zheng, who is full of ambition, is reviewing memorials.

Yu Jianzheng, with white hair and beard, walked in with steady steps and knelt down to salute.

"Old minister, I pay my respects to the Emperor!"

Tang Zheng looked up when he heard the voice, and when he saw that the person coming was Yu Jianzheng, he quickly stood up, walked down in two steps and helped him up.

"Is Yu Jianzheng here to give you good news about your destiny?"

Today, Yu Jianzheng is responsible for collecting luck for the Yuan Dynasty and is extremely important in Tang Zheng's eyes.

Yu Jianzheng felt helpless when he heard this.

Ever since the emperor asked him to collect luck for the Yuan Dynasty, every time he came, Tang Zheng would be eager to know how long it would take.

But this is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Even if we have annexed seven dynasties including Daliang, the luck is still far from enough.

Facing Tang Zheng's anxious gaze, Yu Jianzheng still shook his head, his tone neither hurried nor slow.

"Your Majesty, luck is not something that can be gathered overnight. According to my estimation, it will probably take at least ten years or even longer."

Having said that, he glanced at Tang Zheng, wanting to see his reaction.

If it were in the past, he might have frowned and yelled at him to speed up.

But now Tang Zheng's face was full of smiles, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry.

"Okay, okay, that's great!"

Obviously, the victory brought by the annexation of the seven dynasties kept Tang Zheng in an excellent mood.

After saying that, Tang Zheng returned to his desk to review memorials.

Yu Jianzheng heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this, and continued, "Although we are still a long way from gathering all the luck, the current Great Yuan martial arts has also undergone significant changes. According to news, several sects in the martial arts world have recently caused quite a stir."

Although the current speed of collecting luck is slow, the changes it brings are visible to the naked eye.

First, a number of innate realm masters appeared in several sects, causing a stir in the long-silent martial arts world.

Many warriors who have been stuck at the peak of the transformation realm and unable to break through the bottleneck have traveled thousands of miles to seek advice, just to be able to touch the threshold of the innate realm.

After that, many martial artists in the transformation realm successfully broke through, attracting countless people to watch.

You should know that in the past it was difficult to produce a person at the Innate Realm every thirty or forty years, but now, seven or eight people at the Innate Realm have appeared in succession in just a few years.

A warrior who was familiar with geomancy realized that this was caused by the destiny of heaven and earth, and wanted to find out the truth.

But this is a crucial matter for the Yuan Dynasty to enter the Dynasty of Fortune, so naturally, people from the martial arts world are not allowed to interfere.

The most sensational event in the martial arts world during this period was that a martial artist at the peak of the Xiantian Realm successfully entered the Tianyuan Realm.

That person was none other than the swordsman Xu Zhiqing who had challenged Yan Xiu at the Fuzhen Temple.

At this point, Xu Zhiqing became the second person in the Yuan Dynasty to reach the Tianyuan realm after Yuan Ge.

When this happened, the entire martial arts world was like a calm lake that was suddenly hit by a huge rock, causing thousands of waves!

After Xu Zhiqing became a Tianyuan realm expert, the first thing he did was to return to the capital of the Yuan Dynasty and come to Fuzhen Temple.

When everyone found out, their hearts were pounding, thinking that he had come to avenge the sword attack on them.

Some people showed disdain upon hearing this.

The Taoist Master was able to suppress the Thirteen Ghosts by himself. Could Xu Zhiqing be stronger than them no matter how powerful he was?

Everyone thought it made sense and speculated about the purpose of Xu Zhiqing's visit.

After Xu Zhiqing arrived at Fuzhen Temple, he entered Yan Xiu's courtyard alone.

An hour later, he walked out with disappointment on his face and left the capital without looking back.

For a moment, the entire Yuan Dynasty martial arts world was full of discussions, and everyone was speculating on what had happened between the two of them.

In the courtyard.

Yan Xiu sat under the Jianmu tree and practiced with his eyes closed.

Zhu Miao walked in through the courtyard gate, sweeping the fallen leaves in the yard with a broom in hand.

After a long time, he seemed to finally be unable to hold back, and came to Yan Xiu and asked in a low voice: "Dao Zun, what did that Hidden Sword Xu Zhiqing say to you?"

Yan Xiu opened his eyes upon hearing this and smiled softly, "Why, are you curious too?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Miao nodded without hesitation.

Of course, as the second person in the Yuan Dynasty to step into the Tianyuan realm, Xu Zhiqing must have attracted countless people's attention.

Moreover, the first thing he did after he achieved Tianyuan realm was to come to Fuzhenguan to see Yan Xiu. How could one not be curious?

Perhaps this contains the key to entering the Tianyuan realm.

Seeing that Zhu Miao's face was full of curiosity, Yan Xiu told him the conversation between them, but the content surprised Zhu Miao.

"He said that he was able to enter the Tianyuan Realm thanks to me, and that he came here hoping to join Fuzhen Temple, but I refused."

Zhu Miao was shocked and confused when he heard this.

If Xu Zhiqing, the second Tianyuan realm master in the Yuan Dynasty, was willing to join a certain force, I am afraid that all the leaders of the martial arts sects would do everything they could to keep him.

But when he got to Yan Xiu, he was rejected, which made Zhu Miao puzzled.

He immediately asked, "Why didn't Dao Zun accept him? This way, Fu Zhen Temple would have one more powerful fighter."

"It's not that I don't want to take it, but he shouldn't be here with me."

Yan Xiu shook his head slightly and said.

Zhu Miao was puzzled and waited for what would happen next.

"Xu Zhiqing is like a rusty sword, and Fuzhen Temple is the scabbard.

If he entered the monastery at this point, his cultivation in this life would stagnate. If he wanted to break through to a higher level, the only way to achieve this was to enter the world as a whetstone.

If I let Xu Zhiqing enter Fuzhen Temple like this, wouldn’t that be harming him?”

Yan Xiu spoke in a calm tone, and he didn't feel at all that it was a pity not to keep Xu Zhiqing.

After listening to this, Zhu Miao showed a thoughtful expression and couldn't help but feel admiration for Yan Xiu.

If other sects could get Xu Zhiqing to join, they would not let him go easily unless they had beaten this second strongest Tianyuan realm master in the Yuan Dynasty into a bald man.

However, Dao Zun was able to see Xu Zhiqing's talents and gave him guidance to help him grow instead of trapping others. I'm afraid no one in the entire martial arts world has such a broad mind.
