444: Golden Core expert
Long Yuan's words caused the blood in the heart of this old emperor, Zhu Zhenxiang, to reignite at this very moment!
He was once a passionate youth with the ambition to become an emperor for the ages. However, time was merciless, whittling him down physically and mentally like a small knife, causing him to gradually wither. Now, he was full of the gloom of twilight, possessing none of his past high-spirited Aura. In his plan, facing the ferocious Sea Clan, the best strategy for the Great Ming was to turtle up and defend, relying on a large number of human lives to fill the gaps. He would hold out as long as he could; how could he dare to think of taking the initiative to attack?
But he didn't expect that upon Long Yuan's arrival, he would not only provide important intelligence but also offer a defensive strategy that turned passive into active. If successful, he believed the Great Ming would be able to seize the initiative in this war concerning the nation's fate, boost morale, and thereby significantly extend the Great Ming's period of safety...
"Let's do it!!!" Emperor Ming roared in his heart. He couldn't wait to convene a military intelligence meeting immediately to put this strategy into action.
Long Yuan seemed to know what Emperor Ming was thinking and continued, "The second piece of information is that the Crown Prince, Prince Rui, and the Third Imperial Uncle, Prince Lu, are both in contact with the Fusang People. Therefore, it is best to avoid personnel from these two royal lineages at this military intelligence meeting; otherwise, if the military intelligence leaks, it is very likely to backfire!"
Emperor Ming's expression changed instantly, and the armrest of his chair was deformed by his grip. He said fiercely, "I understand! I will thoroughly investigate this matter!"
"The third piece of information is that the Fifth Imperial Uncle, Prince Ding, has commissioned another Cultivation World force hidden in the Great Ming, the Nether Prison, to carry out an assassination mission against the high-quality immortal seedlings selected by the Xuanji Tower. Sabado of the Xuanji Tower is already aware of this. I hope he can be in time to protect those immortal seedlings. But for us, Prince Ding is also an unstable element, especially since we have long known that he has secret dealings with Miller and others from the Snow Eagle Country!"
Emperor Ming's face was as gloomy as water, and his chest rose and fell. It took a while for him to stabilize his emotions before he said, "I will punish him sooner or later! But is that Nether Prison also a Cultivation World force? How dare it make a move against the Xuanji Tower?"
"Imperial Grandfather, the Star Domain where our Blue Star is located is vast and boundless. There are countless habitats for life in the Star Domain, including cultivation civilizations, Xuanwu civilizations, and technological civilizations. The Tianji Pavilion behind the Xuanji Tower is just one of the larger ones in the cultivation civilization. That Nether Prison is also a powerful Cultivation World force, and assassination is just one of their main businesses. We cannot afford to offend these forces. If any one of their experts comes, they could destroy our Blue Star, so we had best not participate in their conflicts. To them, our Blue Star is far too weak; they don't even look at us. This is actually a good thing. Since Blue Star is currently controlled by the Tianji Pavilion, we only need to obey their orders on the surface. As for the Cultivation World forces that have infiltrated like the Nether Prison, we must absolutely not offend them!" Long Yuan analyzed.
Emperor Ming nodded repeatedly as he listened. He already had some understanding of the situation in the Cultivation World and was very clear that what Long Yuan said was absolutely feasible.
Long Yuan continued, "There is one more important piece of information: the exotic beasts on land are restless. They want to take advantage of the Sea Clan's invasion to cause chaos on land. This situation has actually already occurred on various continents, so the various bases we have must face far more than just the Sea Clan!"
"To think it's like this..." Emperor Ming trembled slightly, his face looking extremely ugly.
The shock this news brought him was no less than the previous three, but upon second thought, he suddenly felt that he was truly lucky!
If it weren't for the information Long Yuan provided tonight, I fear the Great Ming's losses this time would be unimaginably large, perhaps even half of its Foundation would be destroyed!
In the end, it would be uncertain whether the Great Ming royal family could still sit on this dragon throne, and they could only leave it to fate.
But now, the Great Ming at least has the chance to take the initiative and attack, doing its utmost to preserve its important Foundation...
"Yes! Therefore, all other bases of the Great Ming must take action to deal with the attacks from land exotic beasts and cultists to avoid being breached during the chaos. Moreover, the battle to establish prestige by striking first is extremely important; it can not only deter the Sea Clan but also deter the land exotic beast races! By the way, everything I just said is bad news, but there is one piece of good news!"
Emperor Ming's eyes lit up, and he asked urgently, "What good news?"
"In about three months, a Golden Core Expert from the Tianji Pavilion will arrive, named Ji Feier. With her ability, she should be able to suppress the Sea Clan's turmoil, so our Great Ming only needs to try its best to hold out for more than three months!" Long Yuan smiled.
"Just one Golden Core Expert? Can she really suppress the Sea Clan with her own strength?" Emperor Ming asked, somewhat disbelievingly.
Long Yuan laughed, "Imperial Grandfather, do not underestimate the power of a Golden Core Expert! Given the current level of martial arts on Blue Star, one Golden Core Expert is enough to suppress the entire world! Golden Core Experts have already found their own Dao; they can mobilize a portion of the power of heaven and earth to fight, and every gesture and movement possesses immense power. In addition, some of them possess their own Lifebound Treasure. This treasure is compatible with their Dao and can exert power far exceeding that of a Magical Artifact. The so-called High Grade Profound Weapons on our Blue Star are actually far inferior to even a Magical Artifact, let alone comparable to a Lifebound Treasure. Therefore, this Golden Core Expert, relying on her Lifebound Treasure, is enough to slaughter in high-end battlefields, unstoppable by anyone!"
"So powerful?! Then does our thunder god cannon pose any threat to her?" Emperor Ming asked in shock.
Long Yuan shook his head and said, "No threat! The thunder god cannon cannot even threaten a Foundation Establishment Cultivator or a Martial King, let alone a Golden Core Expert. With the current level of technology on Blue Star, whether it is the thunder god cannon, mecha pilots, or gene warriors, none can contend with a Golden Core Expert. Therefore, unless the Sea Clan has already produced a Golden Core Expert, it is impossible for them not to be her opponent!"
Emperor Ming's face was as gloomy as water as he listened, feeling immense pressure. The arrival of such an expert on Blue Star was an incredibly heavy pressure, whether for other forces or for the Great Ming!
Moreover, this pressure was mainly directed at the high-end level, because a Golden Core Expert would not deal with low-level ants, but rather the main controllers of various forces. Therefore, Emperor Ming would sooner or later have to face her arrival!
"I understand! But if she comes here, what should I do?" Emperor Ming asked.
"Imperial Grandfather, this is one of the main reasons why your grandson came here tonight!"
"Oh? Tell me quickly, let me hear it!" Emperor Ming asked urgently.
"If you face Ji Feier, unless it involves the Great Ming's Foundation, everything should be based on complying with her wishes!"
