Jiangziyue's eyes are complicated: "Are you going to do it, king?"
Ji Fa quickly waved his hand, first stating his position: "I will not abandon the late king's legacy without a thought."
Subsequently, the tone changes: "However, I can only watch as Xiang Fu leads the army in battle, and I can't do anything myself. It is truly heart-wrenching."
He did not let Jiang Ziyao guess the riddle, but directly talked about his intention: "The teacher sent a letter, asking me to go to the Nine Immortals Mountain Peach Blossom Grotto for a period of self-cultivation."
Jiang Ziyue: "????"
Guangchengzi has several meanings. If the king of Ji Fa goes to practice cultivation, what will happen to the state of Zhou? What will happen to the Record of Spirits? It is a complete mess. Is there still any mention of the spirit of the profound order in the Chuanjing List?
Ji Fa hands a letter to Jiang Ziyao.
Jiang Ziyao roughly takes the letter and examines it closely.
Guangchengzi knows that the current increase in earthly and spiritual energy, as well as the surge in divine inspiration, makes cultivation extremely beneficial. He himself is caught up in a difficult situation, but he can allow his disciples to enjoy the benefits in the mountains.
Now that he puts in effort for a period of time, he can lay a solid foundation for the future road.
Guangchengzi once served as the teacher of Emperor Xuanxuan, and he also had his own insights into governing a state.
In this era, the ruler is not as important as it seems. In the past, Emperor Huang was not necessarily personally involved in every aspect of governance. On the contrary, during the time of Huangdi, state affairs were delegated to capable advisors.
Fenghou is good at governing the people, Dahong is good at training troops, and Ligou is good at commanding troops.
There is also Changxian, who is skilled at drumming. In that era, drumming was a common practice for various activities, and Changxian was considered the first master drummer in the primordial chaos.
Emperor Huang entrusted matters to his ministers and focused on his own cultivation.
Deng Chanyu always believed that the offline system was her own invention. However, she did not know that her great-uncle had already initiated this governance mode.
In the era of Emperor Huang, it was possible to allow the ruler to go offline and cultivate. Now, Deng Chanyu is governing Shu while also cultivating, embodying the concept of "wu wei zhi" (governing without doing). It seems to be going well. Guangchengzi believes that Ji Fa can also do as he pleases, copying this approach. Even though the Zhou kingdom is important, it won't be more important than the era of Emperor Huang, will it?
A ruler like a blessed creature can have only so much influence. State affairs can be entrusted to Jiang Ziyao, and Ji Fa can focus on cultivation with confidence. No problem!
Jiang Ziyao dare not scold Guangchengzi, who is almost equivalent to the son of the School of Exploration. Even though Jiang Ziyao has advanced to the status of "Grandpa Ziya," he certainly would not dare to show his teeth at such a high-ranking figure.
In the letter, Guangchengzi did not offer much explanation; he just mentioned this matter and left it for Ji Fa to decide for himself.
"Is the king really leaving Xīqí?"
Ji Fa bowed respectfully: "Xiangfu, Ji Fa wants to learn a set of skills and then return to assist Xiangfu."
He automatically comprehends the essence of the School of Exploration's skills. Don't ask, because the reason is simply to assist his Uncle Jiang.
Although I am currently the leader, I still want to help you! You mustn't refuse.
Jiang Ziyao sighed bitterly, "One after another, all of you are here to assist me? Isn't it your Ji family who is planning a rebellion? How can this situation now appear as if I am the one planning a rebellion?"
It sounds odd to say, but even though Ji Fa has reached the position of camp leader, he is in a "nameless" state on the list. He can be said to be caught in a crisis, but if he puts his mind to avoiding it, he can also be said not to be in a crisis; it all depends on his choice.
Ji Fa has recently been unable to go on the battlefield to fight, so he has read a lot of books on cultivation.

Ancient emperors of the era, whether Fu Xi or Xuan Yuan, and even the later Yao, Shun, and Yu, ultimately either chose to cultivate the Tao or passed away after several decades of life. There were no emperors who lived for hundreds or thousands of years.
Long-lasting vitality and earthly prosperity are either this or that.
How should Ji Fa choose?
If the Zhou Kingdom were to be prosperous throughout the seas, with its subjects numbering in the billions, he would most likely choose power.
Unfortunately, the Zhou Kingdom now only occupies a corner of Jiuzhou, being constantly pummeled at the door by Wen Zhu, which is a far cry from the savory taste of power. Instead, it feels more like a mountain of pressure.
Deng Chanyu has read historical books and knows that the Zhou Kingdom eventually won, but Ji Fa, as the party concerned, does not know this.
Now the Zhou Kingdom is in a precarious situation, and if the country is destroyed, his brothers and the officials may have a chance to survive. The best outcome for him would be to take eight shots in the back and then "commit suicide."
Ji Fa's thoughts of cultivating the Dao gradually overpowered those of power. He is not saying that he wants to lie down and give up, but rather to follow in Deng Chanyu's footsteps: I will go and cultivate, acquiring a set of skills, and then return to save the Zhou Kingdom.
After all, the ministers and officials don't let him go into battle to fight enemies. He also knows the dangers of a ruler going to the battlefield and fighting desperately. For the stability of the country, he indeed is not suited to go back to the battlefield, which he can understand.
However, others are fighting and struggling, while he sits alone in the palace like a prisoner.
Whether it's sitting in Xiqi or Qiu, it's just sitting. It might as well be in Jiuhua Mountain.
In his view, cultivating the Tao should be similar to practicing martial arts. Jiang Ziyue and Deng Hua also reinforced his fixed impression from the side, making him think that if a woman like Deng Chanyu can become renowned throughout the southern lands, there is no reason why he should be worse than her.
After learning a set of Daoist skills, he will return to become a "millions-enemy," which will be more valuable for the Zhou Kingdom.
Jiang Ziyao is as smart as a fox, and after a few turns of thought, he can guess Ji Fa's roughly changing mental state.
This is a bit hard to persuade.
Deng Chanyu's current level is somewhat hard to determine. He really doesn't know, but previously, Huanglong Zhenren said that their own and Deng Chanyu's abilities were "pretty much the same."
Deng Chanyu has trained for seventeen or eighteen years, becoming as powerful as Huanglong Zhenren, who has practiced for a thousand years. In Jiang Ziyao's view, this talent is downright unrealistic. Based on his guess, this person's previous life must have been some kind of supreme being, now reincarnated to retrain in this life, otherwise the speed of cultivation would not be so fast.
Many secret matters from ancient times are top secret to outsiders, but to the Yu Xu Palace, they are merely ordinary records.
The fact that the Yaoju (Yao race) ancestor Fuxi was reborn as the human ancestor Fuxi is known to the old Jiang. Who is Fuxi? He is Nuwa's brother, and who is Deng Chanyu? She is Nuwa's disciple.
According to his understanding, this is likely some kind of great transcendent technique used by the Saints to reincarnate anciently powerful beings into the human race, putting on a new skin to continue their cultivation.
He also indirectly asked Huanglong Zhenren about this, and although Huanglong Zhenren did not explicitly say whether it was true or not, he knew that his guess was probably right.
Ji Fa considering Deng Chanyu as his target is quite outlandish. She is a reincarnation of a supreme being, but are you also a reincarnation of a supreme being?
It's just that Jiang Ziyao has been cultivating for forty years and hasn't made any progress. He has little say in the field of cultivation.
He has repeatedly stated in both public and private settings that his own cultivation is "stupid" and "he has no chance of attaining the Dao this life."
Now, to use his own example to persuade Ji Fa? He's been through his youth, and he understands the thoughts of young people too well. Ji Fa is definitely going to think that you're not up to it and that I am.
However, he still thinks that Ji Fa's decision is absurd. Whether it's for the Prophecy of the Gods or for the initial entrustment from Ji Chang, he must persuade him.
