444: The monk's road has no end

After a few drinks with Imperial Preceptor Yuan Tianxiang, Xie Weilou left the Qintian Bureau.

Yan Wuhai was already the New Emperor of Great Xia, so he naturally had to go see him.

After all, he was still the Marquis Zhenxi of Great Xia, and he had to meet the New Emperor of Great Xia. The matters of the Zhenxi Army would have to be handed over to the other party, as he couldn't take them with him.

Imperial Palace.

Outside the Imperial Garden.

"Greetings, Marquis Zhenxi!"

When Eunuch Huang saw Xie Weilou, he quickly bowed.

It was said that with a New Emperor came new officials, but he was an exception.

He had served the previous Emperor, assisted the Xia Emperor, and now he would continue to assist the New Emperor.

Serving three Emperors in a row, accompanying the Emperor's side—looking across Great Xia, Eunuch Huang was definitely the first person to do so. His identity and status were extremely special.

Xie Weilou cupped his fists towards Eunuch Huang and said, "Eunuch Huang, I wish to see the New Emperor."

"Brother Xie!"

Just then, a voice rang out, and Yan Wuhai, in imperial robes, walked quickly over, a broad smile on his face.

Xie Weilou looked at Yan Wuhai and said with a faint smile, "Congratulations!"

"Alas!"

Yan Wuhai sighed softly.

He then said, "Since Brother Xie is here, please join me for a drink!"

"Good!"

Xie Weilou nodded.

The two walked forward.

In a pavilion.

Yan Wuhai poured a cup of wine for Xie Weilou: "They say the waves behind push the waves ahead, and new generations replace the old. In reality, many young people find it hard to surpass the older generation, just like me. I estimate I'll never reach the heights my father Emperor did in this life."

Xie Weilou smiled faintly and said, "Haven't you already entered the Divine Court Realm? When your father Emperor was your age, he was probably still struggling in the Profound Manifestation Realm. In a sense, you have actually surpassed him at this stage."

It was true that new generations replaced the old, but more often, each held sway for hundreds of years. At this position, what Yan Wuhai did in the future might surpass the Xia Emperor.

Yan Wuhai's face was filled with a complex expression: "Precisely because of this, I feel I cannot surpass him. His vision is too grand. Even something as powerful as Great Xia's Fortune Power, he disdained to refine..."

"Great Xia's Fortune Power is the fortune of the entire Great Xia, concerning its future. His not refining it might be his way of being responsible to the people of Great Xia!"

Xie Weilou said with a composed expression.

Yan Yuan probably decided early on that he wanted to leave and see a more vast world, so he did not refine Great Xia's Fortune Power.

But even so, he still spent the first half of his life ruling and developing Great Xia. This was the Emperor's destiny, and his responsibility.

As an Emperor, he was qualified.

As a cultivator, he had his own pursuits and was willing to put them into practice, which was equally admirable.

As a father, he secretly made arrangements for Yan Junlin and others to walk different paths, which was naturally no problem at all.

Such a person, one could not say he was perfect, but he indeed possessed a unique personal charm.

If it had been anyone else who dared to trick Xie Weilou, Xie Weilou would probably have overturned Great Xia.

However, being tricked by the Xia Emperor, he had no complaints, perhaps influenced by the Xia Emperor's personal charm.

Yan Wuhai looked at Xie Weilou: "If I'm not mistaken, Brother Xie also had the opportunity to refine Great Xia's Fortune Power, didn't you?"

In his opinion, Xie Weilou not only had the opportunity to refine the Fortune Power but even had the chance to leave his name on the imperial dao scroll, as the imperial dao scroll was blank.

Xie Weilou smiled and said, "Naturally!"

"Why didn't Brother Xie refine it?"

Yan Wuhai asked earnestly.

"My ambition isn't here! All things in heaven and earth are like a drop in the ocean, pitifully small, while the path of cultivation is endless, with countless possibilities, allowing one to constantly grow stronger, explore the unknown..."

Xie Weilou looked towards the sky, a smile on his face.

A transmigrator entering the world of cultivators—if he was content to be confined to one corner, then he would be letting down his identity as a transmigrator, and his cultivation.

What is a transmigrator?

Getting stronger, being invincible, crushing all, with the sea's end as the sky's shore, and the mountain's peak as my summit—dominating eternity, sweeping across the nine heavens and ten lands—this is what a transmigrator should do!

Cultivation requires diligence, vision must be broad, and resolve must be firm; only then can one see a wider world.

Yan Wuhai was stunned for a second, then raised his wine cup: "Brother Xie and my father Emperor are similar people, making one feel ashamed of oneself."

Xie Weilou smiled and raised his wine cup: "Everyone has their own path to walk, so there's no need to belittle yourself. It just means your path suits you, and your path is absolutely without any problem."

Yan Wuhai took a deep breath: "Thank you for your guidance, Brother Xie. This cup, Wuyai drinks it!"

With that, he drank the wine in one gulp.

He was naturally very wary of Xie Weilou, but after hearing Xie Weilou's words, he suddenly felt that his wariness was completely unnecessary.

His so-called power and status were nothing in the other person's eyes; they disdained to compete with him.

"......"

Xie Weilou also smiled and drank the wine.

After one cup.

Yan Wuhai then said, "I heard from the National Master that Brother Xie kept the remnant souls of Yan Junlin and Yan Ruyu?"

Xie Weilou chuckled: "I was tricked by your father Emperor. Logically, I should have killed all of you, but in the end, I didn't. Do you know why?"

"I'd like to hear the details!"

Yan Wuhai naturally wouldn't doubt Xie Weilou's words, because the other party truly had such strength.

Xie Weilou stated directly: "No one knows how vast this world is, but there truly needs to be people who go out. They are all good seeds; only by going out can Great Xia's future have more possibilities. And this, I estimate, is also your father Emperor's intention. Of course, your leadership of Great Xia is equally excellent."

Is Great Xia very strong?

With a behemoth like the Saint Institute, Great Xia is naturally very strong.

But don't forget, the strongest in Great Xia are only in the Divine Court Realm; there isn't a single existence beyond Divine Court yet.

Fourth Mr. might be an exception, but such a person, his origins are unknown; does he truly belong to Great Xia?

Can Great Xia's future have existences beyond Divine Court, or even more powerful? This requires people to constantly go out!

The Saint Institute cultivates young people, and they certainly don't wish for these young people to be confined to this corner of the world, fighting among themselves. Perhaps they hope that the Saint Institute's disciples can go further.

Not to mention what benefits they can bring to Great Xia or the Saint Institute, at the very least, if young people go out, they will be worthy of their own cultivation path.

Yan Wuhai mused: "They are indeed very strong."

Before this, he actually didn't know the true strength of Yan Junlin and Yan Ruyu.

But Imperial Preceptor Yuan Tianxiang had told him everything, and only then did he realize how great the gap was between him and these two.

And there was also Yan Ruyi, who was even more unfathomable, making it difficult to see through her in the slightest...
